This week the enemy struck on residential buildings, on people, on civil infrastructure.

He noted this in Telegram President Volodymyr Zelenskyy."Every strike by Russia is an attempt to cause as much damage as possible to ordinary life. This week, these are strikes on residential buildings, our people, children, civilian infrastructure. These are the most important targets for the Russians. Thousands of strikes with various types of weapons - in just one week, Russia used almost 1,200 strike drones, more than 1,360 guided aerial bombs, and more than 50 missiles of various types against Ukraine," he noted.

According to him, the Russians launched over 100 drones over Ukraine last night alone.

Zelensky recalled that as a result of the strike on Kyiv, three people have already been killed, dozens of people have been injured, including children, and ordinary high-rise buildings in several areas of the city have been damaged.

The President emphasized that under all these blows, Ukraine continued to actively defend itself on the battlefield, in the sky, and in diplomacy.

"There are significant results of pressure on Russia - the 19th EU sanctions package and new US sanctions against Russian oil," he added.

Zelensky thanked the partners for these steps and emphasized that it is important not to stop."We count on the synchronization of these sanctions in the jurisdictions of the G7 and other partners. And, undoubtedly, additional tariff and sanction restrictions are needed against Russia and everyone who helps it stay afloat. Pressure will definitely work for peace," Zelensky emphasized.
