"89 'Shaheds' were shot down last night. All of them were used by Russian terrorists during this attack. And this is an important result. Ukrainians can fully protect their skies from Russian strikes when they have sufficient supplies for this," Zelenskyy wrote on social media.

"We need the same effectiveness of defense against Russian missiles and the occupier's combat aircraft. And this can be achieved. We need bold enough decisions from our partners - enough air defense systems, enough range. And Ukrainians will do everything correctly and accurately," the President of Ukraine said.
