Since the beginning of the week, the Russian army has launched about 400 anti-aircraft missiles, more than 50 "shaheed" and more than 40 missiles in Ukraine.
Putin does not want any peace – Zelensky
Russia continues to methodically kill Ukrainians.
The President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy said this in an evening video message.
In general, since the beginning of this week alone, Russian terrorists have already used almost 400 guided aerial bombs, more than 50 "shaheeds", more than 40 missiles. No state in Europe would be able to withstand such pressure, such evil alone. And that is why it is important that we are all together now - everyone who values life and who does not want this terror to come home to other peoples.
Volodymyr Zelenskyi
President of Ukraine
He emphasized that all leaders and international organizations should react harshly to Russia's actions.
Putin does not want any peace - he only wants war and death. He doesn't care who to kill. The main goal is to destroy. First, Ukraine and Ukrainians. And then you, dear partners. That's why it's a matter of survival - and not only of Ukraine - for the world to react to Russian evil and pressure - pressure, hit back.
Zelenskyi noted that seven Russian military planes, precisely those that drop bombs and kill, were shot down this week.
According to him, since the beginning of February, Russia has lost 15 military aircraft, and this is the correct dynamics of their losses.
This war must become hopeless precisely for Russia, precisely for terrorists. And they should feel as much as possible that there is a power that destroys those who want to destroy life. We are able to provide it. Each of the partners knows what is necessary. The main thing is the political will to implement everything. To give exactly the level of supply that will help.
According to the President, if this does not happen, "it will become one of the most shameful pages in history - if America or Europe lose to Iranian "shaheeds" or Russian fighter jets." He noted that Russian evil should not be encouraged either by weak decisions, delays in delivery or indecision.
Our joint successes should be felt by everyone in the world who values life. We got through the winter, we saved energy, we didn't allow blackouts. Russia's energy terror has not worked. We continue to restore security at sea, and our maritime exports are working.
Ukraine needs air defense to protect lives
Zelenskyi said that as of this time seven people have died in Odesa, including two children.
The baby was four months old, his name was Timofey. But the boy is Mark, the child is not yet three years old. My condolences to all relatives and friends. Eight people were injured, including a three-year-old child and a girl.
The president emphasized that such attacks by "shaheds" do not and cannot have any military meaning.
He added that this is "terror, which aims exclusively to destroy lives, exclusively to intimidate people. The world knows that terror can be opposed. The world has enough air defense systems, systems of protection against "shaheeds" and missiles."
Ukraine did not ask for anything more than necessary to protect life. And when lives are lost, and partners simply have internal political games or disputes that limit our defense, it is impossible to understand. It is impossible to agree with this. And it will be impossible to forget - the world will remember it.
