Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says Russia used more than 2,000 drones last month to attack his country. He called on the international community to intensify sanctions against Moscow to prevent it from producing drones.

Ukrainian authorities say debris from intercepted Russian drones fell in six districts of the capital kyiv on Saturday, setting fires and breaking windows in multiple housing complexes.

Zelenskyy said in a televised speech on Saturday that drones were used against Ukraine literally every day in October.

He said the number of drones means more than 170,000 components that should have been blocked were supplied to Russia.

Zelenskyy said this brings the world back to the need to work much harder to control the export of special components and resources.

Some observers say the Russian military may be trying to relentlessly pressure the Ukrainians with drone strikes.

Ukraine has been asking the West to allow it to use weapons with longer firing ranges so that kyiv can attack military bases inside Russia to prevent its drone attacks.
