Zelenskyy Reveals Weekly Russian Attack Scale: Over 2,300 Drones and 1,500 Bombs.
Ukraine Under Fire: New Strikes and Military Upgrades
According to UATV: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has detailed the latest wave of Russian attacks on his country, while also announcing the arrival of new military equipment, including Swedish Gripen fighter jets. Over the past seven days, Russian forces launched:
- more than 2,300 drones;
- over 1,500 bombs;
- 108 missiles of various types.
These figures underscore a sharp escalation in hostilities and the ongoing aggression by Russian troops.
'This week, the Russians fired over 2,300 attack drones, nearly 1,560 guided aerial bombs, and 108 missiles of different types at our people,' Zelenskyy stated.
The data highlights the immense scale of attacks Ukraine endures and reinforces the urgent need to bolster the country's defenses.
In a positive development, Ukraine has taken delivery of a new IRIS-T launcher, a critical addition to its air defense capabilities. 'We have received a new IRIS-T launcher,' the president emphasized. This system will significantly enhance the protection of Ukrainian airspace.
Strengthening Ties with International Allies
This week also saw the signing of an agreement to purchase 150 Gripen fighter jets. 'This week, we also have substantial agreements with Sweden,' Zelenskyy added, reflecting Ukraine's active defense cooperation with global partners.
Additionally, the Pentagon plans to ramp up weapons and ammunition production, a move that could positively impact Ukraine's supply of essential equipment and arms amid the ongoing war. These efforts are designed to support Ukraine in its fight for independence and territorial integrity.
Recent events underscore the severity of the military situation in Ukraine, where fresh attacks and active assaults by the Russian Federation persist, compelling Ukrainian authorities to take urgent steps to strengthen defenses. At the same time, collaboration with international partners, particularly Sweden on military hardware deliveries, demonstrates continued global backing for Ukraine's struggle for sovereignty. The Pentagon's increased weapons output could also play a key role in providing the necessary support for Ukrainian forces during this challenging period.
