Zelenskyy on night attack: Ukraine needs sufficient air defense systems, world must compel Moscow to come to table for genuine negotiations
Partner countries can deprive Russia of the ability to strike Ukraine by providing air defense systems, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated, commenting on Russian shelling of Ukrainian cities on Tuesday night.
“Last night, Russia’s aerial terror against our cities and infrastructure continued once again. The main targets were our energy facilities. Ninety-six attack drones were launched, most were shot down, though unfortunately not all … Every day and every night, Russia strikes power plants and transmission lines, our gas facilities also come under attack. The world can deprive Moscow of the ability to carry out such brutal attacks against life. Our partners know what is needed for this: Patriot, NASAMS, SAMP/T, and other vital systems,” Zelenskyy said on X Tuesday morning.
The President stressed that Ukraine counts on action from the United States, Europe, the G7, “and all partners who have these systems and can provide them to help protect our people.” “Ukraine needs sufficient air defense capabilities to shield its skies from missiles, drones, and glide bombs so that Russia’s aerial terror becomes meaningless. The world must compel Moscow to come to the table for genuine negotiations. Only peace through strength can bring results,” Zelenskyy stressed.
