Russian planes have not flown to Ukrainian-controlled territory for about two months.

The statement came from spokesman for the Air Force of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Yuri Ignat, APA reports.

"For almost two months now, the Russian army has not flown to areas controlled by the Ukrainian armed forces.

The Russians use helicopters and launch air strikes on the territories, "said Yuri Ignat.

According to him, the Air Force has been preparing for all possible scenarios for eight years.

Therefore, on the day of the attack, for several hours, the aircraft, personnel showed all their strength.

This allowed to protect the main potential of the Air Force from complete destruction, which could lead to Russian domination of Ukrainian airspace.

The Air Force official also said that the air and air defense units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces destroyed more than 500 Russian planes, helicopters, missiles and drones.

Earlier in April, the British Ministry of Defense, citing British intelligence, said that the Ukrainian air defense system created serious problems in Russian aviation.
