Russia plans to further deploy long-range UAV ground control stations in the temporarily occupied territory (TOT) of Ukraine and four stations in Belarus, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced.

“Third, we have clear information that Russia is planning further deployment of ground-based control stations for long-range UAVs in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine, as well as four stations in Belarus. We will respond accordingly,” Zelenskyy said on X following a meeting with the head of the Main Intelligence Agency (GUR) of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Oleh Ivaschenko, on Monday.

The President instructed Ivaschenko to inform partners and media representatives about the data that can be made public.

Moreover, the Russian command constantly attempts to exaggerate the achievements of Russian troops on the front lines and subsequently use such exaggerated data from the occupying group’s headquarters in the negotiation process, Zelenskyy said.
