Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Sunday called for stronger international sanctions and military support to counter Russia’s escalating attacks, revealing that the country faced over 1500 strike drones, 1280 guided aerial bombs, and 50 missiles of various types in the past week alone.

“Russia must feel the consequences of what it is doing. Sufficient counteraction is needed to force them to seek peace. That can be achieved with adequate strength of our army, our long-range strike capabilities, and strong sanctions and pressure against Russia. Right now, we are defending ourselves from Russian attacks almost every day. This week alone, there were more than 1500 strike drones, over 1280 guided aerial bombs, and 50 missiles of various types,” he stated in a post on X.


Zelenskyy warned that Russian military production relies heavily on foreign-made components and technologies, revealing that over 132,000 foreign components from countries including Europe, the US, China, Japan, and others have been identified in Russian weaponry.



“Thousands of foreign components have been found in this weaponry - more than 132,000 items - from many countries: Europe, the US, China, Japan, and dozens of others. All these technologies help Russia create weapons on a large scale. All for the sake of terror against our people,” his post read.
