According to his information, the Russians struck Ukraine with 101 drones, the vast majority of which were Russian-Iranian martyrs.
– In total, over the past week there were about 1,270 drones, 39 missiles and almost a thousand KABs. We really hope that our partners will fulfill everything we agreed on. Air defense is the most important thing for protecting life, – noted Volodymyr Zelensky.
In addition, the president said that agreements on investments in our own production of weapons, in particular all types of drones, but especially interceptor drones, are already being dynamically implemented.
– We are contracting to the maximum. Thanks to all partners who are helping, – Zelensky summed up.
Let us recall that on the night of July 7, the Russian army attacked Ukraine with four S-300/400 anti-aircraft guided missiles and 101 Shahed-type strike UAVs and various types of drone imitators.
The full-scale war in Ukraine has been going on for 1,230 days.
