President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that over the past week, Russia had launched more than 1,050 attack drones, nearly 1,300 glide bombs, and more than 20 missiles at Ukraine. He emphasized that those who seek negotiations do not target civilians with ballistic missiles.

The Ukrainian leader shared this information on Telegram, as reported by Ukrinform.

"Ukraine is fighting for the normal and safe life it deserves, for a just and reliable peace. We want this war to end. But Russia does not, and continues its aerial terror: over the past week, more than 1,050 attack drones, nearly 1,300 aerial bombs, and more than 20 missiles have been launched at Ukraine to destroy cities and kill people," the President noted.

He stressed that "those who seek negotiations do not deliberately strike civilians with ballistic missiles."

According to the President, to stop Russia’s attacks, greater global unity is needed

"Strengthening our air defense, supporting our army, and ensuring effective security guarantees that will make the return of Russian aggression impossible — this is what we must focus on. Justice must prevail. We believe in the power of unity, and we will certainly restore lasting peace," he emphasized.
