"In just one week, Russia has used over 800 guided bombs, almost 300 Shahed drones, and more than 60 missiles against our people," he said.

Zelenskyy emphasized ongoing efforts to strengthen Ukraine's defense with long-range solutions

He added, "I discussed this with my partners at the Ramstein meeting. I am grateful to all the countries providing us with necessary assistance. The only way to effectively stop this terror is by targeting Russian military airfields, bases, and logistics. We must achieve this," Zelenskyy stressed.
