Against the background of new Russian missile attacks on Kyiv, Zaporizhzhia and Kharkiv region, the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyi emphasized that the Russian ballistic missiles must be destroyed even on the territory of the aggressor country. He stated this during his evening video address on Saturday, January 18.
According to the head of state, it is currently not enough to counter Russian missile attacks on the civilian infrastructure of ground-based air defense systems.
“The blows were, in particular, ballistic. We are constantly working for more air defense systems for Ukraine — modern systems that can shoot down such ballistics. And we are working on it so that our Ukrainian army can actively act against enemy launchers, in particular, on Russian territory. I am grateful to all partners who support us in this,” the President noted, adding that “our long-range capability is one of the key tools for protecting life.”
As ArmiyaInform reported, three civilians became victims of a Russian missile attack in Kyiv on January 18, and three more were injured.
