Now in Zaporozhye, a rescue operation continues after a Russian missile strike. Ballistics. For Urban Development. Eighteen people are injured, all are being treated. But, unfortunately, there are dead. My condolences to my family. I have already talked to the commander-in-chief about what is needed to give more security to our cities. And we are talking with all our partners about additional air defense systems. We now don't have enough systems to protect our country from Russian missiles. But partners have these systems. We repeat again and again that air defense should save lives, and not gather dust on storage bases,
