Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said that Russia launched more than 200 drones in an overnight attack, the largest of the war between both countries.
Zelenskyy condemned Russia’s ‘aerial terror’ and called for unity among Ukraine’s allies.
He said this in a series of tweets via his X account on Sunday.
Everyday, our people stand against aerial terror,” the 47-year-old wrote on X.
Everyday, our people stand against aerial terror. On the eve of the third anniversary of the full-scale war, Russia launched 267 attack drones against Ukraine — the largest attack since Iranian drones began striking Ukrainian cities and villages.
In total, nearly 1,150 attack drones, more than 1,400 guided aerial bombs and 35 missiles of various types were launched this week.
I thank everyone who repels such attacks on a daily basis—our aviation, anti-aircraft missile troops, electronic warfare units and mobile fire groups of the Air Force and Defense Forces. I also thank those on the ground who save lives and respond to the aftermath of shelling—the State Emergency Service, medics, and the National Police.
The war continues. Everyone capable of helping with air defense must work to enhance the protection of human life. We must do everything possible to bring a lasting and just peace to Ukraine.
This is achievable through the unity of all partners—we need the strength of all of Europe, the strength of America, the strength of everyone who seeks lasting peace.
I thank all our partners who help us and understand this.
Meanwhile, Zelenskyy has suggested that he would give up presidency for ‘peace’ in Ukraine.
