Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reacted to Russia's massive drone attack on at least 7 regions on New Year's Eve, pointing out the need for partners to supply air defense systems without delay, and expects that what was agreed with America at the end of December will arrive on time, writes UNN.
Russia deliberately brings war into the new year: more than 200 attack drones were launched against Ukraine tonight. Most of them were shot down, and I thank all our soldiers who repelled this attack. They hit Volyn, Rivne, Zaporizhzhia, Odesa, Sumy, Kharkiv, Chernihiv regions. The targets are our energy infrastructure.
The President emphasized: wherever necessary, rescuers are helping, energy workers are working to restore electricity after the strikes. And he thanked everyone involved in eliminating the consequences.
The killings must be stopped - there can be no pauses in the protection of life. If the strikes do not stop even on New Year's holidays, then air defense supplies cannot be delayed. Allies have a list of scarce equipment. We expect that everything that was agreed with America at the end of December for our protection will arrive on time. I am grateful to everyone for their readiness to be with Ukraine and work for our common security.
