Over the course of the week, the Russian Federation attacked Ukraine using nearly 1,550 attack drones, more than 1,260 guided aerial bombs, and two missiles.

According to Ukrinform, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reported this on Telegram.

“Over the past week, Russia launched nearly 1,550 attack drones against Ukraine, more than 1,260 guided aerial bombs, and two missiles,” the president stated.

He noted that “over that same week, due to the easing of sanctions, Russia increased its crude oil sales to finance its war.”

“Revenues give Russia a sense of impunity and the ability to continue the war. That is why pressure must continue, and sanctions must work. Russia’s shadow fleet must not feel safe in European waters or anywhere else. Tankers that serve the war budget can and must be stopped and blocked, not just let go,” Zelensky emphasized.

The president thanked every leader who made the necessary decisions.

“This is what brings a dignified peace closer,” Zelensky stressed.

As reported by Ukrinform, Ukraine and the EU are developing regulations to allow the confiscation of oil from ships in the shadow fleet.
