This strike was a Russian guided aerial bomb. A blow that would not have happened if our Defense Forces had the ability to destroy Russian military aircraft where they are based. We need strong solutions from our partners to stop this terror. This is an absolutely fair need. And there is no rational reason to limit Ukraine in defense. We need long-range capabilities. We need the implementation of agreements on air defense for Ukraine. This is saving lives.
