Partners need HONESTY about the war, — Zelenskyy
Almost the entire day yesterday and through the night there was a massive attack of “Shaheds”; there were constant waves, and not for a single hour was our sky clear of them. From the beginning of yesterday’s day until 9 o’clock today there were already over 850 “Shaheds,” and this was precisely during the artificially imposed limitation of speed for our defensive capabilities. Some of the “Shaheds” were shot down. But, unfortunately, there were also dozens of hits. One of the largest attacks against our Kirovohrad region took place; there were also strikes in Kyiv and the region, in Dnipro region, Odesa region, Rivne region, Kharkiv region, Donetsk region, Zaporizhzhia, Kherson region, Mykolaiv region, Vinnytsia region, Zhytomyr region, Khmelnytskyi region, Poltava region, and Ivano-Frankivsk region. Three people were killed in Kropyvnytskyi, and three in Dnipro region.
Obviously, Russia launched this escalation of strikes deliberately, having received sanctions relief and seeing attempts to pressure Ukraine. Russia uses every such moment and must be held accountable for what it does. Strong decisions are needed to end this war. Stable support for Ukraine is needed, above all in defending the sky. Partners need HONESTY about the war: it is important that everyone in America be not on the side of the aggressor, but on the side of protecting our lives and our efforts to end this war and guarantee security.
