This week, Russian forces launched more than 2,200 attack drones at Ukraine, around 1,650 aerial bombs and 38 missiles of various types, a significant proportion of them ballistic.

Ukrainian President reported this, Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

"This week, the Russians launched more than 2,200 attack drones at Ukraine, as well as around 1,650 aerial bombs and 38 missiles of various types, a significant proportion of them ballistic," the President noted.

Overnight, people were killed as a result of Russian strikes.

"In Zaporizhzhia Region, three people were killed as a result of shelling. In Kyiv, a man was killed after a drone hit. My condolences to his family and loved ones…" Zelenskyy wrote.

He added that residential buildings, energy facilities and other civilian infrastructure in Odesa, Kharkiv, Sumy, Mykolaiv, Kherson, Poltava, Zhytomyr and Kyiv regions were hit.

"In the morning, the Russians struck a data centre in Kyiv twice. Three people were injured in the first strike, including two children," the President noted.

"We are constantly working with Europeans, America, Canada, Japan, Australia and other partners to strengthen our defence and achieve real diplomacy," the President added.

At the same time, the President said that, in his view, Ukraine lacks a consistent stance from a number of states.

"But, unfortunately, there is a lack of a consistently strong position from China and India, Brazil and South Africa, the G20 countries and the Global South. In fact, each of these countries has influence over Russia and can help make peace a reality," Zelenskyy wrote.

He stressed that Ukraine’s security matters for other states as well.

"Building guaranteed, dignified security here, in Ukraine, means adding security and stability globally. I thank everyone who does not stand aside and helps Ukraine," the President added.
