Zelenskyy announced the number of drones and missiles launched by Russia against Ukraine per week
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy noted that this week Russia has used more than 630 strike drones, about 740 guided aerial bombs, and almost 50 missiles of various types. They have more than 50,000 sanctioned components from around the world.
Zelensky stressed that sanctions pressure on the supply routes of foreign components to Russia is insufficient. Moscow continues to obtain the components and means of production it needs from almost all over the world and use them in the weapons with which it attacks Ukraine.
We must continue to strengthen cooperation with all partners on sanctions, air defense, long-range weapons, and support for our soldiers - this is the priority that will help both in the defense of our cities and villages and in the defense of positions on the front. I am grateful to every partner who helps us with this.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy
President of Ukraine
