Russia bombarded Ukraine with over 4,000 strikes in March, including guided air bombs, missiles, and Shahed drones, Volodymyr Zelensky has said as he renewed his call for Western missile defence systems.
“Just this March, Russian terrorists have deployed over 400 missiles of various types, over 600 Shahed drones, and over 3,000 guided air bombs against Ukraine,” Mr Zelensky posted on Twitter.
The president noted that the residents of Kharkiv have experienced some of the worst impacts of the strikes. “Our city of over a million people, Kharkiv, has been subjected to missile and drone strikes since the full-scale war began,” he said. “Recently, Russian terrorists also began to use aerial bombs against Kharkiv. The city sees daily humiliation and pain, as well as daily losses,”
Kharkiv has experienced frequent energy outages over the past week after a massive series of Russian strikes targeted the city’s energy infrastructure a fortnight ago.
