Such a coincidence: Zelensky just claimed that 50% of the drones in last night's attack (over 500) were Shaheds. However, it takes time to study all the data and especially the wreckage, so I think his figure is a ballpark one.
"They were all Zeroes"...
30% is the estimate of local experts and relates to the late 2024 and 2025 periods in total. I think it makes sense, as it coincides with several reports of air defence units and air force spokesperson.
Then there is a difference in the ranges. Popular and cheap decoys such as Gerbera are under 300 km, not enough to reach the western regions. So, Shahed's share can be higher in the west and lower in the east.
Chernivtsi were hit last night by only 4 drones and 1 missile, with civilian casualties, unfortunately. In the morning, drone wreckage was located and identified as Shaheds, while the missile remained unknown.
Kharkiv is under frequent attacks by short-range Molnia. Odessa was hit since March 2025 by jet-powered Banderol several times.

I was just going to give this an informative but the value of the content, especially in the quip, made it worth far more.
 
"We need weapon systems that extend far into the depths of the Russian region..."
(General Freuding, the head of the Special Staff for Ukraine in the German MOD).

I like "We". If my Google Translate is correct.


My non-gobble translation software includes that we and includes a related story worth reading.

Still has the original lyrics but it works well for the Ukrainian situation:

In fact, if anyone wants to have a go with creating new lyrics appropriate for Ukraine, it would be good. To help, here are the original lyrics:

War is coming swiftly
The border is closing in
We're a company of soldiers
Mere 40 rifles strong

All alone
Stand alone

Ardenner ground is burning
And Rommel is at hand
As the Blitzkrieg's pushing harder
The war is all around!

All around
Hold your ground!

Fight for 18 days of battles
No odds are on our side
Few will fight for all
Until the bullets are gone

We! We will resist and bite!
Bite hard, cause we are all in sight
We! We take up arms and fight!
Fight hard, resist and do what's right!

No matter our fighting
Their numbers will still count
We're outgunned and few in numbers
We're doomed to flag or fail

We fought hard
Held our guard

But when captured by the Axis
And forced to tell the truth
We will tell it with a smile
We will surprise them with a laugh

We are all
We were all

We were told to hold the border
And that is what we did
Honoured were our orders
In despite of our foe

Gloria fortis miles
The Wehrmacht closing in
Adversor et admorsus
The Boar against the Eagle
Gloria fortis miles
The Wehrmacht closing in
Adversor et admorsus
The Boar against the Eagle
