According to Ukrinform, President Volodymyr Zelensky stated this on Facebook.

"This week, 16 of our regions were under attack. During that time alone, the Russians launched around 1,900 drones, nearly 1,600 aerial bombs, and 144 missiles of various types, including ballistic missiles.

Today, Sumy was struck by aerial bombs. In Brovary, one person was killed in a drone strike, and six people were injured. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Kharkiv and the Kharkiv region remain under constant attack. Overnight, Russia also struck the Odesa, Zaporizhzhia, and Dnipro regions.

This week, more than 1,500 sites have been damaged, including hundreds of ordinary residential buildings," Zelensky said.

According to the President, a significant number of Russian enterprises that support these attacks by producing components for drones, missiles, and guided aerial bombs (KABs) are still not under sanctions.

He noted that Russia is investing increasingly in ballistic missile production and is seeking to expand its manufacturing capacity.

"Pressure is needed on every segment of Russia's defense-industrial complex, and that is exactly the pressure that will ultimately help reduce the number of attacks against our people. Sanctions must be expanded, and they must work. Thank you to everyone making that happen," the Head of State added.

As Ukrinform previously reported, Ukraine's air defense forces neutralized 109 out of 133 drones launched by Russian forces in attacks that began on the evening of August 1.
