“First of all, I am grateful to our defenders of the sky. Every night now is a large-scale Russian drone attack. About a hundred “Shaheds” each time. A lot of damage. This morning alone, 97 drones were shot down overnight. Mobile fire groups, electronic warfare, air defense units – thank you. Unfortunately, there are also hits. We need to be much more effective in protecting our skies. And the develment of our effective air shield will not st,” Zelensky said.

The President thanked all the partners who help in this. But, according to him, we need more air defense systems, more apprriate ammunition to shoot down drones. The Ukrainian authorities are talking about this with all partners.

“Tonight in Kyiv, unfortunately, three pele were killed by Russian drones. A father and daughter – the child was five years d. A Russian strike in Zaporizhzhia the day before took the lives of an entire family – mom, dad, daughter. My condences to all the family and friends. We also need to put more pressure on Russia to st this terror. And it depends on all partners – from America, from Eure, from others in the world,” Zelensky emphasized.
