Zelensky: Russia uses 1,100 drones, over 890 guided aerial bombs, and more than 50 missiles against Ukraine in one week
According to Ukrinform, President Volodymyr Zelensky reported this on Facebook.
“In many regions, the situation remains difficult after Russian strikes on our critical infrastructure. Energy workers and repair crews are working around the clock to restore electricity, heat, and water supply for people. And this is truly a monumental effort that matters greatly for our citizens – restoring normal life after constant Russian terrorist strikes. I am grateful to everyone involved,” Zelensky stated.
According to him, this week Russia launched nearly 1,100 combat drones, over 890 guided aerial bombs, and more than 50 missiles of various types against Ukraine: ballistic, cruise, and medium-range ballistic missile “Oreshnik.”
“And they struck targets that have no military purpose whatsoever – energy infrastructure, residential buildings. They deliberately waited for freezing weather to make things worse for our people. This is deliberate, cynical Russian terror specifically against civilians. I thank our mobile fire groups that defend Ukraine from these attacks day and night, and all our other warriors from air defense units and electronic warfare units,” the President emphasized.
He thanked everyone who works for Ukraine.
“Right now, our internal resilience and the work to strengthen our defense are especially important. We need stable support for Ukraine, our defense, and coordinated diplomacy for the sake of peace. I am grateful to all partners who are working with us in exactly this way,” Zelensky stressed.
According to Ukrinform, the Air Defense Forces destroyed 125 of the 154 drones that the Russians used to attack Ukraine since the evening of January 10.
