Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky predicted the overthrow of Russian despotism on Sunday. The 45-year-old praised the air defense of Kiev for its good work over the past few days.

He had succeeded in almost completely repelling one of the largest Russian drone attacks since the beginning of the war. Despite the threat of a counteroffensive, Putin is currently keeping his feet still. The Kremlin is trying to stoke the West's fear of a protracted war to break support for Ukraine.
