Russia used 600 aerial bombs, more than 60 Shahed UAVs, 40 missiles against Ukraine this week - Zelensky

Russia has launched 600 guided aerial bombs, more than 60 Shahed-131/136 drones and nearly 40 missiles of various types against Ukraine this week alone.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said this in a post on Facebook, Ukrinform reports.

“Our people continuously suffer from Russian terror. This week alone, Russia has used over 600 guided aerial bombs, more than 60 ‘Shahed’ drones, and nearly 40 missiles of various types,” Zelensky noted.

However, according to him, Ukraine has significantly strengthened its air defense shield this week thanks to Germany and the United States.

“Ukraine’s Patriots will prove their worth even more in countering Russian terror. However, to protect all our cities and villages, and to truly overcome Russian terror, we need more concrete decisions. Next week, we will work with our partners for such decisions – preparations are already underway,” the President underscored.

As Ukrinform reported, in his video address on July 5, President Volodymyr Zelensky announced new solutions to strengthen Ukraine’s air defense capabilities.
