Zelensky commented on the Russian attack on Ukraine
Since night, emergency response operations have been ongoing to address the consequences of the Russian attack on our regions. It was a combined strike: drones and ballistic missiles. The Russians hit critical infrastructure in Poltava region, Sumy region, and Kherson region. In Kharkiv region they struck residential buildings. In Kramatorsk a KAB hit an apartment building. Rescue Service units were able to save four people. Three people were injured in Zaporizhzhia, two in Kryvyi Rih. There was a strike on a residential high-rise in Odesa. In Chubynske in Kyiv region, all necessary services are involved to extinguish fires at enterprises after a drone strike.
Russia continues to invest in missiles and the expansion of its war, so more countermeasures are needed. This week there were important decisions to strengthen Ukrainian air defenses from our European allies. It is important that these are complemented by additional ballistic protection packages, primarily through PURL. Everything that strengthens sky protection actually saves the lives of Ukrainian men and women every day. To deter Russia’s desire to keep fighting, effective missile shootdowns are needed—missiles Moscow clings to so it can keep the war going. Grateful to everyone who understands this and helps.
