KIEV (UCRAINA) (ITALPRESS) – “At present, in the regions of Kiev, Sumy, Kharkiv, Dnipro and Mykolaiv, restoration operations are underway following the massive Russian attack. All necessary services have been involved. The main objective of the Russians was the energy sector of the Kiev region, but unfortunately also private homes, schools and civil enterprises were affected and damaged. So far there are four victims. Many were injured and are still in contact with doctors.” The Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky made it known on social media. “During the night, the Russians used about 430 drones of various types and a significant number of missiles. Of these, only 13 were ballistics, while the total number of missiles used in the attack was 68. According to preliminary data, 58 of these were knocked down by our air defense system,” he added.
“Every night of Russian attacks reminds all our partners that air defense systems and missiles are a daily necessity for them. No agreement for the provision of missiles can wait: everything must be implemented as soon as possible. Our agreements to increase the production of anti-aircraft missiles are a critical sector, which requires maximum attention. Russia will try to exploit the war in the Middle East to further destroy here, in Europe, in Ukraine. For this reason we must consciously assess the real level of the threat and prepare ourselves accordingly: we in Europe must develop the production of anti-aircraft missiles – especially against ballistic missiles – and all other systems necessary to really protect life, regardless of what happens in any other part of the world. Europe is able to provide reliable protection of this type,” Zelensky concludes.
