Over the past week, Russia launched about 1,300 attack drones, nearly 1,200 guided aerial bombs, and nine missiles of various types at Ukraine.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported this on December 21.

“Odesa Region and our south were particularly affected. Our services continue working to restore normal life in the regions.

At various levels, we are countering this Russian terror. This week saw an important decision on a financial security guarantee for Ukraine — the European Council’s allocation of €90 billion for 2026–2027, as well as significant aid packages from Norway and Japan, and an agreement with Portugal on the joint production of maritime drones.

Negotiating teams from Ukraine and the United States continue working on ways to end this war with a dignified peace.

And our long-range sanctions against Russia are working as they should. The aggressor must understand that war does not bring dividends and always returns to where it came from.

I thank everyone who helps Ukraine. We must strengthen our country’s defense capability so that diplomacy has a real chance to end the bloodshed”, — the President noted.
