'This week, 16 of our regions came under attack' - Volodymyr Zelensky

Zelensky emphasized that 'more than 1,500 facilities, including hundreds of ordinary residential buildings, were damaged this week.' He called for broader sanctions against Russia's defense industry, insisting that 'sanctions need to be expanded and to work.' He also stressed the importance of applying pressure across the entire Russian military-industrial complex, because 'the aggressor is ramping up ballistic missile production.'

The latest figures fit a broader pattern of repeated long-range bombardments that Ukrainian leaders cite in their appeals for stronger international support.
