Over the past week, Russia has used nearly 1,750 strike drones, 1,530 guided aerial bombs, and 39 missiles of various types against Ukraine.

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

“Over the past week, Russia has attacked our country thousands of times – the enemy used nearly 1,750 attack drones, 1,530 guided aerial bombs, and 39 missiles against our people. Civilian infrastructure came under attack – energy facilities and residential buildings. Our warriors manage to neutralize most of the targets,” the president stated.

However, he said that more protection is needed, and it is needed every day.

“First and foremost, these are air defense missiles, and therefore contributions and deliveries within the PURL initiative are key – and I thank everyone who continues their support. Sanctions against Russia and its accomplices must be tightened further. Everything that helps the Russian Federation finance and continue this war must be blocked. Today, there will be negotiations with European partners on each of these elements. Thank you to everyone who helps Ukraine,” Zelensky emphasized.
