(MENAFN- UkrinForm) According to Ukrinform, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reported this on Telegram.

“Over the past week, Russia launched nearly 1,550 attack drones against Ukraine, more than 1,260 guided aerial bombs, and two missiles,” the president stated.

He noted that“over that same week, due to the easing of sanctions, Russia increased its crude oil sales to finance its war.”

“Revenues give Russia a sense of impunity and the ability to continue the war. That is why pressure must continue, and sanctions must work. Russia’s shadow fleet must not feel safe in European waters or anywhere else. Tankers that serve the war budget can and must be stopped and blocked, not just let go,” Zelensky emphasized.
