Missiles, bombs, drones: Russia launched over 2,100 aerial attacks on Ukraine in a week

This was reported by the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy.  

According to him, this week, Russia has launched nearly 1,220 aerial bombs, over 850 attack drones, and more than 40 missiles of various types against Ukrainian cities and villages.  

"Russia, in its current state, needs war to maintain its grip on power, and it proves its intent to keep fighting by bombarding Ukraine every single day. Ukraine is defending itself – we stand and fight thanks to the bravery of our warriors and the support of our partners. But we need more air defense systems to protect Ukrainians’ lives," Zelenskyy emphasized.  

He stressed that Europe and the world must be better protected from such evil and prepared for it. The president is convinced that through a strong, united foreign policy and pressure on Putin — who started this war and is now expanding it globally — it will be possible to end this war with a just and lasting peace.

• On Saturday, February 15, intensified Russian activity was observed on the Russian-Ukrainian front, with 261 combat clashes recorded over the past day.
