Over the past week, Russian aggressors launched attacks on Ukraine using more than 1,800 drones, over 1,200 aerial bombs, and 83 missiles of various types.

This was reported by President Volodymyr Zelensky on Facebook, according to Ukrinform.

"In seven days, we witnessed large-scale Russian strikes on Ukraine: over 1800 drones, more than 1200 guided bombs, and 83 missiles of different types. The Russians are intensifying terror against our cities and communities to instill fear in our people," the head of state noted.

Zelensky emphasized that despite Moscow's plans, the air defense forces are showing good results.

According to him, "the interceptor drones are performing exceptionally well – hundreds of Russian-Iranian 'Shaheds' have been shot down this week."

The President mentioned that every meeting with partners this week focused on scaling up this technology.

Zelensky expressed gratitude to everyone willing to invest in life protection and to the soldiers safeguarding Ukrainian skies.

The head of state stressed: "Shaheds" are one of Russia's tactics to prolong the war. We must neutralize this threat to expedite diplomatic efforts."

He expressed hope for the fulfillment of all agreements that will strengthen Ukraine's defense, as well as strong decisions from the USA, Europe, the G7 countries, and all partners.

As reported by Ukrinform, on the night of July 12, cities across Ukraine were under Russian attack. The Russians launched 26 cruise missiles and 597 drones.
