Fellow Ukrainians!
Since last night, first responders and all necessary services have been working wherever needed. Everyone wounded in the strike will receive assistance. This is our duty, and the state will fulfill it. I am grateful to each and every person working on the ground after the strikes to help our people. As of now, at least 83 people have been confirmed injured since midnight. Tragically, there are fatalities. My condolences to the families and loved ones.
It was a heavy attack – 90 missiles of various types, many of them ballistic missiles – 36 in total. There were 600 drones. Unfortunately, not all of the ballistic missiles were intercepted – the largest number of hits was in Kyiv. Kyiv was the primary target of this Russian attack.
Putin can’t even pronounce the word “hurrah” clearly anymore – slurs and mumbles – yet he is still vanquishing residential buildings with his missiles. Launched three Russian missiles against a water supply facility. Burned down a market. Damaged dozens of residential buildings. Hit several ordinary schools. Launched his “Oreshnik” against Bila Tserkva. They really are unhinged. It is important that this does not pass without consequences for Russia. Today, everyone in the world who will not stay silent and chooses to help Ukraine is a defender of life.
It is critically important to continue working to secure air defense for Ukraine, especially anti-ballistic capabilities. Having Russia next door is a constant threat, and our people in Ukraine will hold that threat back and are stopping it. But the world should clearly see who it is dealing with. This is the fifth year of the full-scale war, and from its very first seconds, it has been Russia’s unprovoked, terrorist war against life. We are doing our best to achieve peace and protect people – everything. It is important that Ukraine is not alone. Decisions are needed – from the United States, from Europe and others – to make that old “Oreshnik” in Moscow finally utter the word “peace.” Thank you to everyone who is helping!
Glory to Ukraine!
