In this week alone, Russia launched 115 missiles of various types at Ukrainian cities and communities, almost 1,900 guided aerial bombs and more than 3,000 attack drones.

President reported this on social media, Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.

According to him, the Russian attacks are accompanied by numerous strikes using ballistic missiles, a significant proportion of which were manufactured this year.

"Overall, in this week alone Russia launched at our cities and communities 115 missiles of various types, almost 1,900 guided aerial bombs and more than 3,000 attack drones. These are combined strikes with a lot of ballistic missiles. And a significant proportion of the missiles were produced this year," the President noted.

Zelenskyy also spoke about the consequences of the latest Russian attacks. In the morning, Russians struck Komyshuvakha with an FPV drone, where emergency rescue operations have been ongoing for the seventh day after an aerial bomb strike that killed 55 people. People may still be trapped under the rubble.

"Absolute cynicism and cruelty," the President commented on the attack.

At night, Russian forces also struck energy infrastructure in Dnipropetrovsk Region. As a result, more than 600,000 people in Dnipro and the region were left without electricity.

The situation in Kharkiv Region remains difficult. Overall, there are numerous power outages across the regions. In Zhytomyr Region, after Russian shelling, 140 multi-storey buildings were left without heating.

"Repair work is under way in virtually every affected city and community. I thank the energy workers, municipal services and every repair crew who are literally 24/7 restoring water, electricity and heat supplies for people," Zelenskyy wrote.

The President stressed that Ukraine is constantly passing information to partners about Russian enterprises involved in the production of ballistic missiles. In October, Ukraine introduced large-scale sanctions packages against the individuals and legal entities involved.

According to Zelenskyy, it is important that Europe and the G7 countries synchronise these restrictions.

"If the world does not have enough anti-ballistic defence to protect the Ukrainian sky, then the missiles must be stopped on the production lines. We are counting on a strong 22nd EU sanctions package," the President stressed.
