President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky reported that during this week, Russian forces carried out massive attacks across Ukrainian territory, launching more than 3,170 strike drones, over 1,300 guided aerial bombs, and 74 missiles of various types.
He said that most of the missiles were ballistic. Numerous strikes were also recorded on residential buildings and other civilian infrastructure.
“Unfortunately, as a result of shelling during the week, 52 people were killed. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Another 346 people were injured, including 22 children,” Zelensky noted.
The President emphasized that Ukraine needs stronger protection, and that support for air defense directly saves lives:
“That is why PURL and additional contributions for anti-ballistic missiles are important. It is equally important to work in Europe on joint defense against ballistic threats. We must be self-sufficient in defense so that Russian air terror cannot threaten either Ukraine or any other country on the continent.”
