Russian army used nearly 1,220 aerial bombs, 850 drones and 40 missiles against Ukraine in past week – Zelensky

President Volodymyr Zelensky said this in a post on social media, Ukrinform reports.

“Russia, in its current state, needs war to maintain its grip on power, and it proves its intent to keep fighting by bombarding Ukraine every single day. This week alone, Russia has launched nearly 1,220 aerial bombs, over 850 attack drones, and more than 40 missiles of various types against our people. Ukraine is defending itself – we stand and fight thanks to the bravery of our warriors and the support of our partners. But we need more air defense systems to protect Ukrainians’ lives,” Zelensky stressed.

He noted that Europe and the world must be better protected from such evil and prepared to confront it. This requires a strong, united foreign policy and pressure on Putin, who started this war and is now expanding it globally.

“Together with Europe, the U.S., and all our partners, we can end this war with a just and lasting peace,” Zelensky stressed.

As Ukrinform reported, last night the Defense Forces of Ukraine shot down 95 Russian Shahed attack UAVs, while another 46 decoy drones were lost from tracking.
