President Volodymyr Zelensky said that Russia has launched nearly 530 drones and two air-launched guided missiles against Ukraine in less than three days, with 11 Ukrainian regions coming under attack since the beginning of the week.
The head of state announced this on Telegram, according to Ukrinform.
“Since the beginning of the week, 11 of our regions have come under attack – in less than three days, the Russians used nearly 530 drones and two air-launched guided missiles against Ukraine. Russia added to the list of its new victories a Panama-flagged container ship, agricultural enterprises, railway and energy facilities, and, most of all, ordinary residential buildings. Dozens of people were wounded,” Zelensky said.
In this context, he stressed that Ukraine’s diplomatic efforts must focus on strengthening the protection of Ukrainian sky. The President recalled that numerous international meetings and negotiations on air defense had taken place in recent days and emphasized the importance of implementing all agreements reached, particularly those related to air defense systems.
“Even more can be decided at the G7 and NATO summits. Ukraine needs protection – this is a prerequisite for diplomacy to work,” the President concluded.
