President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy responded to the massive Russian attack on peaceful cities. At the same time, he once again called on partners to provide air defense systems

He made the statement on Telegram.

"Every state that provides air defense systems to Ukraine, every leader who helps convince partners that air defense should now be not in warehouses, but in real cities and communities that are under attack by terrorists, everyone who supports our defense, are life savers," the president said.

He emphasized that Russia must be held accountable for its terror: "The world can guarantee this, our partners have the necessary capabilities. This has been proven, in particular, in the skies of the Middle East, and it should work in the skies of Europe."

In addition, Zelenskyy expressed his condolences to the families and friends of the victims of the Russian attacks.

  • On the night of April 19, Russian forces attacked Ukraine, a missile threat was announced.
