Over the past week, the Russians have launched over 3,000 drones, more than 1,450 guided aerial bombs, and 40 missiles of various types at Ukraine.

According to Ukrinform, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced this on Facebook.

“This week alone, Russia used more than 3,000 strike drones against our cities and communities – a significant portion of them 'shaheds' – as well as over 1,450 guided aerial bombs and 40 missiles of various types. The Russians are not dialing back their war effort against our state and our people, and at the same time, they are openly investing in prolonging another war that is driving global destabilization,” the president noted.

He stated that Ukraine is being struck by the same attack drones and ballistic missiles as countries in the Middle East and the Gulf region, which is leading to the destabilization of global markets and the blocking of sea lanes.

Ukraine contributes to ensuring security and calls for clear, decisive, and coordinated efforts to provide real protection for lives and stop wars.

“We need to build joint and modern defense systems proven in war. We must develop joint production of modern and effective weapons. We must unite our capabilities so that people can live in peace in Europe, the Middle East, and other parts of the world,” the president added.
