- In the past week, Russia launched more than 2,360 attack drones and more than 1,320 guided aerial bombs against Ukrainian cities. Zelensky added, "And nearly 60 missiles of various types at our cities and communities," documenting the escalating assault.
- Zelensky urged international authorities to stop Russian tankers from delivering oil to ports, arguing that sanctions must continue reducing the aggressor's exports. "Every dollar paid for Russian oil is money for the war," Zelensky said, linking energy revenue directly to military strikes.
