“ The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyi, while on a visit to the USA, reacted to the mass night attack of Russian drones on Kryvyi Rih. He called these strikes a continuation of Russia’s systemic terror against the Ukrainian energy industry and emphasized that the only guarantee of security is the implementation of agreements with partners, in particular regarding the strengthening of air defense. Source: Zelensky’s Telegram statement Details: On the night of Friday, October 17, Russian troops launched a massive attack on Kryvyi Rih. Oleksandr Vilkul, head of the city’s Defense Council, reported more than ten explosions. Zelensky’s direct speech: “There is no change for Russia: it is still terrorizing life in Ukraine. A wave of drones hit Kryvyi Rih – on civilian infrastructure… Missiles were also recorded. In fact, not a single night has passed these weeks without Russian strikes on Ukraine. Most of the targets are infrastructure itself. Systemic terror against our energy industry.” Details: Zelensky emphasized that the Kremlin’s goal is to turn the Ukrainian part of Europe into an “island of danger and mockery of people’s lives.” According to the president, it is possible to force Russia to stop the war only when it cannot continue it. Zelensky once again expressed skepticism about Putin’s statements about readiness for peace, noting that the real proof is not words, but “a real cessation of attacks and killings.” The head of state once again emphasized Ukraine’s critical need for air defense equipment. “Therefore, every air defense system for Ukraine is important for saving lives. Every decision that can strengthen us brings the end of the war closer. Security can be guaranteed if everything we agree on, in particular, in Washington, is implemented,” Zelensky concluded. Background: On October 17, US President Donald Trump is scheduled to meet with Volodymyr Zelenskyi in Washington. One of the key topics at it will be the issue of the possible supply of long-range Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine.”, — write: www.pravda.com.ua
