Literally: “The first (task for the Air Force – ed.) is to strengthen the protection against Russian drones in our cities such as Kherson, Nikopol, as well as the border communities of Sumy Oblast, where the Russians have set up a virtually permanent “safari” against people. Every day – their strikes on residential buildings, on ordinary infrastructure, civilian transport. We need more protection and our actions in response.”
