What was said
"Ukraine has conducted many big drone strikes against Russia. drone strikes with hundreds of drones, but these strikes don't seem to be having much success. Very few of the drones, and the missiles get through. Very few of the drones and the missiles appear to do any serious damage. At least, this has been the story over the last two weeks."
Despite launching massive drone campaigns with hundreds of drones since mid-June 2026, Ukrainian strikes are increasingly ineffective as Russian air defenses have significantly improved. Zelenskyy's 40-day campaign to force Russia to the negotiating table through escalated drone attacks appears to be failing, contradicting Western media narratives about Ukraine regaining initiative.
