Russia launches 738 missiles, over 14,600 glide bombs, nearly 19,000 drones at Ukraine over winter – Zelensky

The Russian army used 738 missiles, more than 14,670 guided aerial bombs, and nearly 19,000 strike drones against Ukraine over the winter.

President Volodymyr Zelensky reported this on Facebook, according to Ukrinform.

In particular, during the last week of February alone, the invaders used more than 1,720 drones, nearly 1,300 guided aerial bombs, and more than one hundred missiles of various types.

"But despite everything, Ukrainians made it through this difficult winter, when Russia did not even try to seek justification for its bestial strikes on civilian critical infrastructure," Zelensky emphasized.

He noted that most of the drones used by Russian forces in their attacks were Russian-Iranian Shahed drones. These are the same drones that the Iranian regime is now launching at countries in the Middle East.

"Evil must be confronted in every part of the world. When the United States and other partners show enough determination, even the bloodiest dictators ultimately pay for their crimes," Zelensky stressed.

He expressed gratitude to everyone who is helping Ukraine defend itself and save lives.

As Ukrinform reported, on the night of March 1 Russian invaders attacked Ukraine with more than one hundred drones of various types. The launches were carried out from the directions of the Russian cities of Kursk, Millerovo, and Primorsko-Akhtarsk, as well as from temporarily occupied Crimea.
