"Another Russian missile attack on Ukraine. Cruise missiles, ballistic missiles. According to preliminary reports, there were 93 missiles. In particular, there was at least one North Korean missile. We managed to shoot down 81 missiles, including 11 cruise missiles shot down by our F-16s. The Russians also used almost 200 drones in this attack. One of the largest strikes on our energy sector," Zelensky wrote on social media.
"This is Putin's 'peaceful' plan to destroy everything. This is how he wants to 'negotiate' - by terrorizing millions of people. And he is not limited in either range or in buying the necessary components to produce missiles. Oil gives Putin enough money to believe in impunity," the President noted.
Zelensky emphasized that "we need a strong reaction from the world: a massive attack needs a massive reaction." "This is the only way to stop terror," he emphasized.
"If leaders are afraid to react or get used to terror, Putin sees this as permission to continue. We need "petriots" to shoot down these missiles and prove that terror will not achieve its goal. It is necessary to strengthen sanctions against Russia for the war in order to really influence Russian missile production," Zelenskyy said.
"Putin's talk does not stop him - we need a force that will lead to peace. A force that will not be afraid of its ability to stop evil. The world can stop this madness, and to do so, first of all, we need to stop the madness in Moscow, which has been giving orders for terror for 20+ years. We need strength. Ukraine is grateful to everyone who helps," the President said.
