Russia has launched hundreds of attacks on Ukraine over the past week, using various types of weapons. The occupiers have fired more than a thousand bombs and hundreds of drones, according to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Telegram.
According to the head of state, Russia has launched approximately 1,200 guided aerial bombs, nearly 870 attack drones, and more than 80 missiles of various types at Ukraine over the past week.
"Every Shahed drone, every aerial bomb used by Russia contains components that are supplied despite sanctions. This weaponry includes more than 82,000 foreign-made parts," the president stated.
Zelenskyy emphasized that Ukraine is working with its partners every day to secure decisions that save lives, including the supply of air defense systems, investments in defense production, and the strengthening of sanctions against Russia.
"And we continue our efforts to bring about a just peace and ensure reliable security guarantees," he added.
