Details: Zelenskyy wrote that 15 Ukrainian oblasts have been attacked by Russia over the course of the week.

He specified that Russia has used 1,400 drones, almost 1,500 guided aerial bombs and 19 missiles in the attacks.

Quote: "There have been almost daily attacks on Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Kharkiv, and Sumy... Strengthening air defence – primarily anti-ballistic protection – expanding cooperation within the Drone Deal format and increasing pressure on the aggressor are key priorities. Sanctions on Russia and its partners over this war must be enforced where they will be felt most."

Background: On the night of 26-27 June, the Russians attacked Ukraine with 129 UAVs, 113 of which were shot down or jammed, according to Ukraine's Air Force.
