Russian Ministry of Defense: Air Defense Has Downed 31 Ukrainian Drones

The Russian Ministry of Defense has shot down 31 Ukrainian drones with anti-aircraft defenses

On Wednesday, October 4, the Russian Ministry of Defense stated that its anti-aircraft defenses shot down 31 Ukrainian drones last night in a widespread attack on Russia’s border regions

At the same time, uncertainty and concern about the provision of necessary weapons to Ukraine by its Western supporters have increased. Moscow has not provided any evidence to support its claim of shooting down 31 Ukrainian drones

Ukrainian officials have not commented on this, and international news agencies cannot independently verify the claims of the Russian Ministry of Defense

Ukraine’s counterattacks, which began about three months ago, are progressing slowly, and at the same time, uncertainty about the extent of military aid to Ukraine in the future and the emergence of divisions in Western countries’ support for Kyiv is more apparent than before

Russian officials have repeatedly warned that the continued Western military support for Ukraine has increased the risk of a direct war between Russia and NATO
