Russia is preparing up to seven large-scale attacks a month – Sibiga
Russia is preparing to step up the intensity of its combined strikes in the near future
Foreign Minister Andriy Sibiga has stated that, according to Ukrainian intelligence, Russia may be preparing to launch up to seven large-scale attacks on Ukraine each month in the near future. He said that, under current conditions, a large-scale strike involves at least 400 drones combined with more than 20 missiles.

Sibiga made these remarks during a public discussion at ADF Talks at the Antalya Diplomatic Forum.

According to the Foreign Minister, Russia is preparing to intensify its combined strikes in the very near future. Sibiga clarified that a “massive attack” currently refers to no fewer than 400 drones alongside no fewer than 20 missiles, and that, according to intelligence estimates, such attacks could occur up to seven times a month.

The minister also stated that Ukrainian air defences are proving highly effective during such strikes and are capable of destroying up to 90% of aerial targets.

The statement came against the backdrop of a sharp increase in the scale of Russian combined attacks. According to Ukrainian and diplomatic reports, on 15–16 April, Russia carried out two waves of massive strikes using hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles.

As reported by ThePublic, Russian forces have carried out one of the largest air strikes of the year and are simultaneously preparing a new ground offensive. This was stated by Ukrainian intelligence representative Vadym Skibitsky.
