Ukraine: The Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has asked to increase sanctions on Russia after he claimed that Ukraine was attacked by 103 Shahed drones and over 600 drone strikes in the last week along with several guided aerial bombs and missiles which comprise of over 50,000 components sourced from across the world.
The president in a post on X, shared “Almost every day, we defend our skies against Russian missiles and drones. Just last night, Ukraine was attacked by 103 Shahed drones, which contained 8,755 foreign-made components. Over the past week, Russia has used more than 630 strike drones, approximately 740 guided aerial bombs, and nearly 50 missiles of various types – totaling over 50,000 sanctioned components sourced from around the world.”
He noted that the sanctions pressure on supply chains for foreign components remains insufficient and said that “Russia continues to acquire the components and manufacturing tools it needs- almost globally – and uses them in the weapons it employs to terrorize Ukraine.”
He gave a call for continuing to strengthen cooperation with all the partners of Ukraine on sanctions, air defence systems, long-range weapons, and support for the Ukrainian soldiers.
“These priorities will help protect our cities, villages, and positions on the frontline. I am grateful to every partner helping us with this”, the post concluded.
The post also consisted of a video which showed the areas of Ukraine which were subjected to attacks in the last week. These included Kiev, Chernihiv, Sumy, Donetsk, Kherson, Kharkiv and Dnipro. The video reiterated the message which the Ukrainian President has emphasised time and again, that is to increase support and air defence for Ukraine.
