President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that over the course of this week, Russia has launched 1,920 combat drones, 1,790 guided bombs, and 17 missiles of various types at Ukraine.
According to Ukrinform, the president announced this on Telegram.
“Russia is carrying out hundreds of strikes against Ukrainian cities and communities, attacking our civilian infrastructure every day. This past week alone, the Russians have launched 1,920 attack drones, 1,790 guided aerial bombs, and 17 missiles of various types against Ukraine. We need to step up our countermeasures against these attacks. We are preparing for meetings with partners to strengthen our defense against this Russian terror,” Zelensky emphasized.
He noted that the G7, EU, and NATO summits are coming up, and that, in his words, it is very important that these talks result in concrete decisions.
“First and foremost, we need support for air defense and our long-range capabilities, an expansion of cooperation in the Drone Deals format, and further strengthening of sanctions pressure on Russia. We must end this war in a dignified way and with guaranteed security. And it is through strength, the unity of partners, and pressure on Russia that this can be achieved in a lasting way,” the president concluded.
