(Reuters) -President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Friday that Ukraine was working on the rapid development of interceptor drones to counter the swarms of Russian drones that have been descending on Ukrainian cities in increasing numbers in recent weeks.

Authorities say Russian drones have slammed into two Ukrainian cities, killing at least one person in nighttime attacks.

President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine signed a new decree to punish people and companies helping Russia make drones. These are not just any drones — they are the same flying machines being used in large numbers to attack Ukrainian cities,
