The statement follows a renewed U.S. diplomatic push to restart negotiations.

"Five hundred Shahed drones per day is certainly not the right time to even begin a discussion about easing sanctions," President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Sept. 12, after France reportedly joined Slovakia in calling to delist Russian billionaire Alisher Usmanov.

The attacks on Volyn and Rivne were part of a wider Russian drone assault across Ukraine on Sept. 12. According to President Volodymyr Zelensky, Russia launched nearly 500 strike drones at the country during the day.

The Russian drone was destroyed by a Ukrainian Sargan 3000 unmanned boat, equipped with a 12.7-mm Protector remote weapons station, according to the Navy, marking a historic first battle between marine drones.

The latest incident comes amid broader concern over fires, explosions, and suspected sabotage at European defense facilities supplying Ukraine.

Kyiv authorities don't have the resources to build shelters at every gas station, while the city also lacks weapons needed to intercept Russian drones and missiles, Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said.

The Kyiv Independent's coverage of Russia’s war in Ukraine. Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022, after eight years of aggression against Ukraine that began in 2014 with the annexation of Crimea and fighting in Donbas. The war has resulted in tens of thousands of military and civilian casualties and displaced millions of Ukrainians. NATO and Western allies have provided military aid to Ukraine while the conflict continues across fronts in Ukraine’s south and east.

The operation was carried out by Russia's Main Directorate for Deep Sea Research (GUGI), which used deep-sea submersibles to simulate deploying the technology, according to two Western officials who spoke to Reuters on condition of anonymity.
