The attack was very insidious and specifically calculated to overload the air defense system. Kyiv was the main target for "Shaheds", other drones and missiles, but there is also damage in our other regions. Rescue operations will continue as long as necessary to ascertain the fate of each person. There are enough forces and means. I am grateful to everyone who works to save people and provide assistance.
