The Russian invasion army has deployed some 900 guided aerial bombs, more than 40 missiles and 400 drones against Ukraine over the past week.

President Volodymyr Zelensky stated this via Facebook, Ukrinform reports.

"This week alone, Russians have used around 900 guided aerial bombs, over 40 missiles, and 400 strike drones of various types against Ukraine," Zelensky said.

According to him, no nation “should have to endure such trials” on its own.
