The need for additional pressure on Russia
The President of Ukraine emphasized that the insidious strikes against peaceful residents once again demonstrate the urgent need to strengthen sanctions pressure on the Russian Federation. He noted that in July alone, Russia used over 5,100 guided aerial bombs, more than 3,800 Shahed kamikaze drones, and nearly 260 missiles of various types, including 128 ballistic missiles. According to Volodymyr Zelensky, stopping this aggression is only possible through the joint efforts of the international community.
The President expressed gratitude to everyone who is helping Ukraine during these difficult times, highlighting the importance of every interaction and support from partners.
