He wrote this on his Telegram channel.Zelenskyy emphasized that Ukraine has never sought war and has repeatedly pursued peaceful settlement efforts, yet Russia continues to obstruct this process, manipulate negotiations, and keep attacking Ukrainian cities.“Almost every day Russian terrorists carry out hundreds of attacks on our critical and civilian infrastructure. Just this week, Russia used more than 3,270 attack drones, 1,370 guided aerial bombs, and nearly 50 missiles of various types against Ukraine,” the president said.According to him, to strengthen Ukraine’s air defense, the country is working with its partners — including through the PURL program and investments in the defense industry.The head of state stressed that peace is only possible through pressure on Russia.“Putin cannot be stopped by talk — pressure is needed. The world sees that Russia responds to strength; therefore, peace through strength can work. Ukraine will not reward terrorists for their crimes, and we count on our partners to uphold this stance. Decisive action is needed from the U.S., Europe, and the G20 and G7 countries. Lives must be protected. I thank everyone helping to make this happen,” Zelenskyy concluded.On Saturday evening, October 18, Russian occupation forces launched attack drones across Ukraine. In the Dnipropetrovsk region, strikes hit three apartment buildings, injuring ten people.
