Russia has again intensified attacks on Ukrainian territory, using Shahed-type kamikaze drones
This occurred immediately after the so-called "ceasefire," which was officially announced by Russian President Vladimir Putin. The three-day pause in hostilities came as a surprise to Kyiv, as already by the late night of May 10 — early morning of May 11 — the Russian enemy resumed active operations. According to Ukrainian military sources and officials, drone-kamikazes reappeared in the sky over the country just before midnight, repeatedly causing destruction and creating panic among residents. The Ukrainian Air Forces reported that pro-Russian "Shaheds" were used again in an attempt to strike key targets, including energy and infrastructure systems. Residents of several regions, including Kyiv, Lviv, Odesa Oblast, and others, were warned about an air raid alert that lasted over two hours. The Ministry of Defense stated that the intensified use of kamikaze drones indicates another escalation phase by Russia, despite the officially declared "ceasefire." Experts note that the nighttime attack amid a formal "quiet" could be an attempt by the Putin regime to demonstrate the ability to return to tactics of chaotic strikes, trying to undermine the morale and stability of Ukraine ahead of possible diplomatic conflict resolution. Ukrainian forces continue to strengthen air defense and drone countermeasures to prevent incursions and reduce losses. This aggression by Russia has reignited tensions in the region, reminding everyone that even after attempts at a declared "ceasefire," the war remains ongoing and prolonged, with Ukrainian defenders preparing for any further attack scenarios. At the same time, the government and military urge the population to remain vigilant and follow safety rules during air raid alerts. Overall, the return of Russian strike drones signals the relentless and diverse tactics of the aggressor country, keeping Ukrainians alert and mobilized to defend their territory and people.
