Explosives deployed by Russian drones can detonate unexpectedly, experts caution, urging Ukrainian citizens to remain vigilant and report suspicious items.
When detonated at high altitudes, cluster munitions cover a larger area, increasing the chance of hitting multiple targets, including civilian ones, especially in densely populated areas.
Ukraine’s defense budget for 2025, amounting to 26.3% of the country’s GDP, focuses on strengthening military capabilities and supporting the defense sector, says Defense Minister Rustem Umerov.
Meanwhile, Kyiv anticipates a second tranche of EU's €1.9 billion in military aid to Ukraine, focused on critical defense equipment like ammunition and air defense systems.
