A Russian strike on Kharkiv injured 19 people, including children, forcing Zelenskyy to emphasize the need to strengthen Ukraine's air defense and speed up the delivery of F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine.
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy has reacted to the strike on Kharkiv that injured 19 people, noting that strengthening Ukraine's air defense and accelerating the provision of F-16s to Ukraine are vital tasks. Zelensky wrote about this on his Telegram channel, UNN reports.
Kharkiv. Russian terror against the city is becoming particularly vile. Attempts to drive more than a million people into a blackout, constant attacks by missiles and "shaheds". Now - air bombs. Just on an ordinary street, on houses, schools, ordinary civilian infrastructure. At this time, we know about one dead person. My condolences to the family and friends.
Details
He said that at least 19 people were injured in the strike, including children. In particular, a girl born in 2022 and a boy born in 2023. All the victims are being provided with the necessary assistance, and all services are working at the site of the impact.
Strengthening Ukraine's air defense and accelerating the delivery of F-16s to Ukraine are vital tasks. There are no rational explanations for why the Petriots, which are plentiful in the world, are still not covering the skies of Kharkiv and other cities and communities suffering from Russian terrorists. Every day we work to provide more protection for the lives of our people and our Ukraine.
Recall
The Russian army today, previously, for the first time struck Kharkiv with a large-caliber guided missile.
As the head of the Kharkiv military administration, Oleh Syniehubov, confirmed in a telethon , Kharkiv was hit twice with a new type of munition, and no enemy aircraft were spotted in the city or region before the "arrival".
