According to the Head of State, Russian killers are actively using guided aerial bombs in the areas of Chasiv Yar, in the Pokrovske direction, in the area of Lyptsi in Kharkiv region and in other combat areas.

"This brings us back to the need for air defense - for additional defense systems that could significantly reduce the difficulties for our soldiers and the threat to our cities and communities.

"However, we still have promising work with several partners and are doing everything to ensure that the day comes as soon as possible when we can add Petriot forces to our eastern regions, our cities like Kharkiv, Sumy and others.
