“This week alone, the Russian army has used nearly 900 aerial bombs, over 300 ‘Shahed’ drones, and more than 40 missiles. This Russian terror knows no pause, and it can only be stopped by the unity of the world—unity in supporting Ukraine and unity in putting pressure on Russia for the war,” Zelensky wrote.

He recalled today’s bombardment of Zaporizhzhia where ordinary residential buildings were damaged, and the entrance to one building was destroyed. Municipal infrastructure and the railway also suffered damage.
