Zelenskyy says Russia attacked Ukraine with 1,500 bombs, 1,400 drones in a week

Russia attacked Ukraine with a barrage of 1,500 guided bombs, 1,400 drones, and 19 missiles over the past week, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reported Saturday. He stated that Russian forces targeted civilians, homes, and civilian infrastructure with various weapons.

“

Just this week, about 1,400 attack drones, almost 1,500 guided aerial bombs, and 19 missiles of various types, including ballistic missiles, have been launched.

"Almost daily there are victims of this terrorism," Zelensky said on his Telegram channel. He highlighted the persistent threat posed by Russian assaults, noting that recent attacks on the eastern city of Zaporizhzhia alone injured nine people, including two children, according to Ukraine's State Emergency Service.

“

The Russians attack the population, normal homes, and our civilian infrastructure with various types of weapons.

The president's statement underscores the ongoing intensity of the conflict and its direct impact on civilian life. The sheer volume of ordnance deployed indicates a sustained campaign of aerial bombardment aimed at degrading Ukrainian infrastructure and terrorizing its population.

“

Unfortunately, there are victims of this terrorism almost daily. And the threat of these Russian attacks remains constant.
