Russia fired 160 missiles, 780 bombs, and 400 drones at Ukraine last week – Zelenskyy

This announcement came from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

"It is entirely justified for Ukrainians to respond to Russian terror by any means necessary to stop it. Every day and night, our cities and villages endure enemy attacks," he stressed.

The President emphasized that to fully defend Ukrainian cities from this aggression, more support is needed for a fair Ukrainian response.

"This includes decisions to carry out long-range strikes on Russia’s missile launch sites, destroy Russian military logistics, and conduct joint efforts to shoot down missiles and drones – everything that will help us resist Russian evil," Zelenskyy highlighted.

• On the evening of August 31, Russian troops struck the Sumy district with a missile, hitting a convoy of grain trucks. The attack left one man dead and others wounded.
