Russia launches 1,300 drones, more than 1,200 guided aerial bombs, and 50 missiles at Ukraine in one week, Zelensky says
During this week, the enemy launched about 1,300 strike drones, more than 1,200 guided aerial bombs, and 50 missiles at Ukraine, almost all of which were ballistic.
According to Ukrinform, President Volodymyr Zelensky stated this on Telegram.
“Every day, recovery continues in our cities and communities after Russian strikes. This week of February alone, they launched about 1,300 attack drones, more than 1,200 guided aerial bombs, and 50 missiles against Ukraine – almost all of them ballistic. Today, the Odesa, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, and Sumy regions came under enemy attack,” the president wrote.
Zelensky specified that, as before, the main target of Russian strikes is the energy sector.
“The Russians deliberately combine strikes to destroy our generation facilities, substations, and grid. Many strikes also hit residential infrastructure. Our warriors intercept a significant portion of the missiles, but unfortunately, not all of them. That is why there can be no pauses in protecting lives,” he emphasized.
The president said that in Munich, the Ukrainian side agreed with the leaders of the Berlin format on specific packages of energy and military aid for Ukraine until February 24.
“I am grateful to our partners for their readiness to help, and we count on all deliveries arriving promptly. Ukraine needs air defense every day to deprive Russia of leverage through terror. Thank you to everyone who helps,” Zelensky concluded.
As reported by Ukrinform, the Air Defense Forces destroyed 55 of the 83 drones used by the Russians to attack Ukraine since the evening of February 14.
