Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy made the statement:“Almost all night long, air raid alarms sounded across Ukraine — our skies were filled with 477 drones, most of them Russian-Iranian ‘Shaheds,’ and 60 missiles of various types. The Russians struck everywhere that sustains life. There were also hits on a residential building in Smila, where a child was injured. Emergency services are working wherever needed,” Zelenskyy said.He added that, sadly, F-16 pilot Maksym Ustymenko was killed while repelling the attack.“Today, he destroyed seven airborne targets. My condolences go to his family and comrades. I have ordered a full investigation into the circumstances of his death. Ukrainian aviation heroically defends our skies. Thanks to everyone who protects Ukraine,” Zelenskyy emphasized.According to him, Moscow will not stop as long as it can continue launching massive strikes. Just this week alone, over 114 missiles, more than 1,270 drones, and nearly 1,100 guided bombs were launched against Ukraine.“Putin decided long ago to keep fighting despite the world’s calls for peace. The war must end. Pressure on the aggressor is necessary, as is protection — against ballistic missiles, rockets, drones, and terror attacks. Ukraine needs to strengthen its air defense. What protects lives best are American systems, which we are ready to purchase. We count on the leadership, political will, and support of the United States, Europe, and all our partners. Thanks to everyone who helps,” Zelenskyy stressed.Russia attacks Ukraine with drones and missiles: casualties in Kharkiv, Cherkasy, Lviv, Poltava, Zaporizhzhia, Prykarpattia, Mykolaiv.
