Zelenskyy reveals how many missiles, aerial bombs and drones Russia launched over winter

President Zelenskyy disclosed that Russia carried out extensive strikes on Ukraine over the winter months, using a significant number of missiles, aerial bombs, and drones.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has made alarming revelations regarding the scale of Russian military strikes against Ukraine during the winter months. According to his report, from December to February, Russia unleashed more than 14,670 guided aerial bombs, 738 missiles, and nearly 19,000 attack drones on Ukraine. This extensive military campaign has raised concerns about the ongoing aggression from Russia and the toll it has taken on Ukrainian civilians.

In a dizzying detail, Zelenskyy highlighted that in just the last week of winter, there were over 1,720 drone strikes, nearly 1,300 aerial bombings, and more than 100 missile attacks. He emphasized that these strikes heavily targeted critical civilian infrastructure, demonstrating a continued deviation from the standards of warfare that respect civilian lives and properties. The president condemned Russia's actions as 'bestial,' underscoring the indiscriminate nature of these attacks on non-combatants.

Despite the relentless barrage of attacks, Zelenskyy expressed his admiration for the resilience of the Ukrainian people who managed to endure through such a challenging winter. He pointed out that even under the constant threat of aerial bombardment and drone attacks, Ukrainians have shown remarkable strength and unity, reflecting a broader narrative of defiance against foreign aggression. As international conversations about support and sanctions continue, this situation underlines the urgent need for global attention and action in response to Russia's ongoing military strategy against Ukraine.
