⏺The head of the Joint Press Center of the Southern Defense Forces of Ukraine, Natalia Humeniuk, has reported that the Russians have increased the launch of reconnaissance drones from the Black Sea. Humeniuk noted that the enemy is collecting a lot of information and has activated unmanned reconnaissance vehicles, which the Ukrainian forces have been successful in shooting down. However, she stated that more and more of these drones are appearing from the Black Sea and are targeting the Mykolaiv and Odesa regions. Humeniuk believes that the Russian leadership is likely preparing for a new attack in February, as it is a symbolic month for them, and the recent air alert across Ukraine is a confirmation of this. She concluded that the Russians are collecting information and preparing for something.
