Ukraine’s air defence units keep up the fight against Russian drones

Every night, Ukrainian cities and towns far from the frontlines come under Russian drone fire. And in recent months these aerial attacks have markedly increased - from a few dozen there are now regularly more than 100 drones in the skies, often striking civilian buildings. Ukraine’s air defence capacities have been massively boosted by specialised and costly American weapons and ammunition. Increasingly there are fears of the impact if the Trump administration decides to cut off weapons supplies, as the Kremlin has demanded as a precursor to peace talks. Our reporters went to film with one of Ukraine’s air defence units.
