Russia uses over 1,000 aerial bombs, nearly 1,400 drones against Ukraine last week — Zelenskyy

 President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported the information.

According to him, Russia continues its aggression, refusing to comply with international demands and to halt hostilities.

According to the president, over the week Ukrainian forces, in particular the 32nd Separate Mechanized Brigade in the Pokrovsk sector, inflicted significant losses on the enemy, eliminating 209 soldiers. During this time, the Russian Federation conducted over a thousand airstrikes, nearly 1,400 drone attacks, and rocket barrages.

In view of this, Ukraine is strengthening its air defense and continuing its diplomatic efforts.

“Russia is dragging out the war and therefore deserves stronger pressure from the world. Russia refuses to stop the killings, and therefore should not receive any rewards or positives for itself. And this is not just a moral position — it is a rational position. Concessions do not persuade a murderer. But truly strong protection of life stops the killers,” Zelenskyy emphasized.

• Air Defense Forces shot down 59 of the 71 UAVs with which Russia attacked Ukraine on the night of August 11.
