Ukrainian President Zelensky stated that over the past week Russia used approximately 1,300 attack-type unmanned aerial vehicles, nearly 1,200 guided aerial bombs, and 9 missiles of various types against Ukraine.

Noting that the Odesa region and the south were particularly subjected to heavy attacks, Zelensky said: “Our relevant units continue their efforts to restore normal life in the affected areas.”

Stressing that they are responding to this Russian ‘terror’ in a multi-layered way, Zelensky said:

“This week, an important decision regarding Ukraine’s financial security was taken: the European Council approved an allocation of 90 billion euros for the 2026–2027 period. In addition, significant aid packages were secured from Norway and Japan, as well as an agreement with Portugal on the joint production of maritime drones.”

Stating that the negotiating teams of Ukraine and the United States continue to work on ways to end this war with an honorable peace, Zelensky said: “At the same time, our long-term sanctions against Russia are having the intended effect. The aggressor must understand that war brings no benefit and that its consequences always return to where it started.”
