Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says Russia launched around 2,100 drones against Ukraine this week.
He said Russia also used nearly 1,700 guided bombs and 78 missiles of different types.

Key Details
Zelenskyy said Russian attacks targeted:
* Energy facilities
* Railway infrastructure
* Businesses

* Areas near the Polish-Ukrainian border
The city of Odesa was attacked by both missiles and drones. Recovery work is also continuing in several western regions after overnight strikes.

Zelenskyy’s Warning
Zelenskyy said Russia is trying to damage Ukraine’s economy and destroy people’s lives.
He argued that Ukrainian forces are fighting not only to defend their country but also to prevent the war from spreading further into Europe.
He called Russian attacks a common threat and said the aggression must be defeated in Ukraine.
