On Wednesday, May 13, the aggressor country of russia launched a combined air attack against Ukraine, which may be of a long-term nature. This is stated in a message from the Defense Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.

The intelligence noted that in the first wave of the attack the enemy is using a significant number of strike drones to overload the air defense system of Ukraine and hit civilian objects.

In the future, russia plans to use a significant number of air- and sea-based cruise missiles, as well as ballistics. Moscow's targets are critical infrastructure and life support facilities of large cities, including energy, military-industrial complex enterprises, and government buildings.
