Over the past week, the Russian forces attacked Ukraine with more than 160 missiles of various types. They also used 780 guided aerial bombs and 400 drones, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
"Over the past week, Russia has used more than 160 missiles of various types, 780 guided aerial bombs, and 400 strike drones against our people," he said.
According to the President, it is entirely fair that Ukraine should be able to respond to Russian terror in the way necessary to stop it.
"To provide full protection and secure our cities from this aggression, more support is needed for Ukraine's just response. Decisions on long-range strikes against missile launch sites in Russia, destroying Russian military logistics, and joint interception of missiles and drones are essential," Zelenskyy concluded.
