Every day, Russians drop about 200 guided bombs on Ukraine, says Zelensky

This was reported by President Volodymyr Zelensky on Telegram, according to Ukrinform.

"In fact, Russian drones and aerial bombs strike every day. Every day, about 200 guided aerial bombs are dropped on our communities and positions. No country in the world could cope with such terror alone, and it is important that Ukraine is receiving help. It is also important that no Ukrainian community is left alone with its problems — it always receives help, always receives the necessary solutions. We in Ukraine are all standing shoulder to shoulder to protect our people, our state," he wrote.

Zelensky noted that yesterday, August 6, Russians killed four people and wounded eight in the Dnipropetrovsk region in just one day.

"Today is a day of mourning for the victims in Nikopol. Three people were killed there in a completely cowardly manner. Rescuer, employee of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine Danylo Khyzhniak – a young man, 23 years old, whose job was to save people. And this is a target for Russia. Yuriy Krutin, 62, and Nataliia Shushvar, 49, also died — ordinary people, ordinary residents of Nikopol. My condolences to their families and loved ones," he wrote.

The president added that Ukraine has been defending itself for 1,261 days, preserving its independence and consistently striking back at Russia in response to its terror and war.

“Russian logistics, Russian oil refining, the military economy — all of this is rightly being responded to by Ukrainians, by Ukraine. And I thank each of our soldiers for their accuracy. Together we defend ourselves. Together we pressure Russia to stop its aggression. Glory to Ukraine,” he said.

As reported by Ukrinform, a total of 147 combat clashes took place between the Ukrainian Defense Forces and Russian troops over the past day, August 6, with the invaders most actively attacking in the Pokrovsk and Lyman directions of the front.
