Zelenskyy: russia fired about 1,900 drones, almost 1,400 KABs and 60 missiles at Ukraine in a week

Over the past week, russia, the aggressor nation, launched approximately 1,900 attack drones, nearly 1,400 guided aerial bombs, and about 60 missiles of various types at Ukraine. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported this on his Telegram channel.

According to Zelenskyy, the intensity of the russian occupiers’ attacks underscores how timely the new contributions from partners to the PURL program are, as well as the approval of the 20th EU sanctions package and the EUR 90 billion European support package in Cyprus.

"Thank you to all partners who are helping," Zelenskyy wrote.

He added that Ukraine’s air defense system is already demonstrating a very high drone shoot-down rate — over 90% — but that this figure needs to be increased.

"We need to work to ensure this percentage continues to grow, not only in terms of shooting down drones but also in terms of ballistic missiles. Every additional delivery of missiles to the air defense system means lives saved, better-protected cities, and critical infrastructure," the President emphasized.

As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, russian terrorist forces launched a massive attack on the Chernihiv Region, resulting in large-scale fires.
