President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that easing sanctions against Russia does not correspond to the situation on the front and stimulates the continuation of the war. According to him, in just one week, the Russian Federation launched more than 2,360 drones, over 1,320 aerial bombs, and almost 60 missiles at Ukraine. He reported this on Telegram, writes UNN.
