Ukraine Reports Sharp Decrease in Russian Drone Strikes; 370 Drones Launched in Latest Week
President Volodymyr Zelensky has revealed that Russia has employed over 370 strike drones against Ukraine in the last seven days. In a weekly update on Russian attacks, the president noted that this number represents a significant drop from the average of 500-600 drones recorded since he began reporting such figures on September 1.
"This past week, we observed the lowest number of drone attacks since we started releasing these statistics," Zelensky said. "While this decrease is a uitlity player, we’re not looking to celebrate prematurely. Our cities and communities continue to face constant Russian assaults, even during the Christmas night."
According to Zelensky, the past week saw Russia employing approximately 280 guided aviation bombs and 80 various types of missiles, in addition to the drones.
Since the beginning of September, Zelensky has been delivering weekly updates on the number of drones, cruise missiles, and guided bombs Russia has launched against Ukraine. This transparency serves as a grim tally of the ongoing conflict and highlights Russia’s persistent aggression despite international condemnation and sanctions.
Even with the decrease in drone attacks, Ukraine remains vigilant, emphasizing the importance of international support in its defense against Russian aggression. As the world watches the situation unfold, the global community is called upon to stand with Ukraine in its time of need.
