Russian armed forces launched extensive attacks over a period of seven days, details of which were disclosed by Zelensky in Ukraine.
In a seven-day period, the Russian Armed Forces have intensified their attacks on Ukrainian territory, according to President Volodymyr Zelensky. The Russian forces have reportedly launched over 1,800 drones, more than 1,200 guided aerial bombs, and 83 missiles of various types [1][3].
The Russian Ministry of Defense confirmed conducting six massive strikes on Ukrainian Armed Forces targets from July 5 to 11 [2]. These attacks, Zelensky emphasised, represent an escalation of terror against Ukrainian cities and communities.
In response to the relentless onslaught, Zelensky has called for an increase in the production of drone interceptors [1]. He has also urged the West to take action to stop the war in Ukraine by force, though there is no new information about the West's response [4].
Zelensky's plea was made on his Telegram channel, where he also announced that the Russian forces used over 1,800 drones, 1,200 guided aerial bombs, and 83 different types of missiles during the seven-day period [3].
Despite these intensified attacks, Zelensky highlighted strong Ukrainian air defense efforts, particularly in shooting down hundreds of Russian-Iranian "Shahed" drones during that period [1][3]. However, there is no new information about the number of casualties or damage caused by these strikes.
As the conflict continues, the international community is closely monitoring the situation and any potential negotiations or interactions between Russia and the United States.
- The escalation of violence in Ukraine, as seen by the intensified attacks on Ukrainian territory by the Russian Armed Forces, is a matter of great concern in the realm of general news, politics, and war-and-conflicts, as it involves a significant use of technology such as drones and missiles.
- As the Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelensky, has called for an increase in the production of drone interceptors and urged the West to take action to stop the war in Ukraine by force, the unfolding events in Ukraine are having far-reaching impacts on not only technology, but also international politics and global security.
