Efforts to deal with the aftermath of Russia’s attack on our regions have been underway since last night. It was a combined strike – drones and ballistic missiles. The Russians struck critical infrastructure in the Poltava, Sumy, and Kherson regions. In the Kharkiv region, they struck residential buildings. In Kramatorsk, a guided aerial bomb hit a high-rise building. Four people were rescued by the State Emergency Service units. Three people were injured in Zaporizhzhia, and two in Kryvyi Rih. An apartment building was struck in Odesa. In Chubynske, Kyiv region, all the necessary emergency services are involved in putting out fires at enterprises following the drone strikes. Russia continues to invest in missiles and in expanding its war, and that means more countermeasures are needed. This week, our European allies made important decisions to strengthen Ukrainian air defense. It is important that these are also supplemented by additional ballistic missile defense packages, first and foremost through PURL. Everything that strengthens the protection of our skies effectively saves the lives of Ukrainians every day. To bring down Russia’s desire to keep fighting, we need to effectively bring down the missiles Moscow clings to so much to keep the war going. I am grateful to everyone who understands this and helps.(Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський)
