Comments and Assessment of the Events

Every strike by Russia is an attempt to inflict as much damage as possible on ordinary life

– President of Ukraine

This week it has been strikes on residential buildings, on our people, on children, on civilian infrastructure. These are the main targets for the Russians. Thousands of strikes with various weapons – in just one week nearly 1,200 attack drones, more than 1,360 guided aerial bombs, and over 50 missiles of various types were used by Russia against Ukraine

– President of Ukraine

Under all these blows, Ukraine continued to actively defend itself: on the battlefield, in the sky, in diplomacy

– President of Ukraine

According to the President of Ukraine, there are significant results from pressuring Russia – the EU’s 19th sanctions package and new US restrictions on Russian oil.

We are grateful to partners for these steps, but it’s important not to stop

– President of Ukraine

We expect these sanctions to be synchronized across the G7 jurisdictions and with other partners. And, undoubtedly, additional tariff and sanctions restrictions against Russia and all who help it stay afloat are needed. The pressure will surely work toward peace. Thank you to everyone who helps

– President of Ukraine

According to official briefings, since the start of the year Russia has launched about 770 ballistic missiles and more than 50 hypersonic Kinzhals.
