"Every day and every night, Russia is waging a terrorist war against our people, against ordinary towns and villages of Ukraine with drones, missiles and guided bombs. Since the beginning of this March alone, Russian troops have used 130 missiles of various types, more than 320 Shaheds and almost 900 guided bombs," Zelensky said on social media.
He emphasized that Ukraine has proved that it can effectively shoot down any missiles and drones of Russian terrorists, we can destroy Russian military aircraft. Such actions save thousands of lives and allow the Ukrainian economy to function, the President noted.
"But we need more protection - a very realistic number of air defense systems that our partners have. "The Petriots and other systems should do what they were designed to do, which is to protect lives, not to gather dust in storage. And I thank everyone in the world who understands this and helps us save lives. Russian terror must lose," he emphasized.
