01 · THE DISPATCH

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that the arrival of 1,000 kamikaze drones in Moscow would prompt advisers to recommend that Vladimir Putin move beyond the Ural Mountains, out of fear for his life. The comment, reported by N12 journalist Asaf Rozentsweig, marks one of Zelensky's most direct predictions about the psychological impact of intensified drone strikes on the Russian leadership.

The statement comes amid ongoing Ukrainian drone operations targeting Russian territory. In recent weeks, Zelensky has repeatedly warned of Russian offensives and called for more Western air defense support, while also signaling Kyiv's push to end the war before winter. The Zioneer has previously reported on similar statements by Zelensky regarding the war's trajectory and the need for increased pressure on Moscow.

The remark remains a single-source report via N12, without immediate official confirmation from Ukrainian or Russian sources. The signal is Developing.
