President Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized the importance of the work of the defenders of Ukrainian skies and stressed that Ukraine needs protection from russian anti-aircraft missile systems, which can be the destruction of russian aircraft, including in their places of base. The president wrote about this in a post on Telegram, UNN reports.
During that night alone, the russian army used almost 40 "Shaheds" against Ukraine. And it is important that most of them were shot down by our defenders of the sky
The President also added that when russian aviation launches more than a hundred guided bombs against our cities and villages, against our frontline positions every day, we need reliable protection from them as well.
This is realistic if we destroy the bomb carriers - russian military aircraft where they exist. Our sufficient range should be a fair response to Russian terror. And everyone who supports us in this supports the defense against terror
