Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reported that Russia attacked Ukraine with approximately 1,600 attack drones, 1,100 guided bombs, and three missiles in the past week. In a statement on Telegram, Zelensky stated that Russia is conducting intense attacks to overcome air defense systems and that daily missile supply is critically important.

He stressed that the injured are under treatment and that the attack was entirely aimed at civilians. Additionally, he reported a drone attack on a residential building in Kharkiv, attacks on energy infrastructure in the Mykolaiv region, and that the Dnipropetrovsk, Odesa, Sumy, Kherson, and Donetsk regions were also targeted.
