Russian truck drivers did not know that the mobile cottages and other containers they were transporting were secretly equipped with drones that attacked russian airfields and damaged military equipment worth billions of dollars as part of the SSU’s Spiderweb special operation. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said this in an interview with ABC News.
"They (truck drivers, - ed.) knew nothing. They were just doing their job," Zelenskyy said.
The President also said that exclusively Ukrainian weapons were used in the operation.
"I really wanted to use only what we produce, and for the division to be very clear," he added.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, on June 1, the Security Service of Ukraine conducted a unique special operation, as a result of which four strategic air bases in russia were hit: Olenya, Ivanovo, Dyagilevo and Belaya. According to the head of the SSU Vasyl Malyuk, who personally led the operation, more than 40 russian strategic aircraft were hit.
The SSU reported that as a result of these actions, about 34% of russian cruise missile carriers were disabled, which is estimated at approximately USD 7 billion.
