Zelensky reacted to the massive Russian missile attack on Ukraine
The target is our energy sector. In total, about 100 attack drones, more than 90 missiles of various types. In several regions, "caliber" strikes with cluster munitions were recorded, specifically on civilian infrastructure. These cluster parts make it much more difficult for our rescuers and energy workers to eliminate the consequences of the impact, and this is a very vile escalation of Russian terrorist tactics.
Volodymyr Zelenskyi
President of Ukraine
The President of Ukraine reported that the necessary forces were deployed in all regions. Invincibility points are also deployed.
Each such attack proves that air defense systems are needed now in Ukraine, where they save lives, and not in storage bases. This is especially important in the winter, when we have to protect our infrastructure from targeted Russian strikes. We are constantly working with partners to have more power for defense, and timely delivery now and full implementation of agreements, in particular regarding air defense, is what is most needed, Volodymyr Zelenskyi said.
