Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine reported the information.
According to Zelenskyy, just this week, Ukraine's Defense Forces shot down 33 missiles, including ballistic ones, and 311 attack drones in the skies over Ukraine. An additional 136 drones used in daily attacks on infrastructure failed to reach their targets.
Zelenskyy expressed gratitude to all Ukrainian soldiers, military aviation, air defense teams, electronic warfare units, and mobile fire groups.
"But the task remains unchanged: to further strengthen the defense of our skies. More Patriots for Ukraine means more protection for lives. More long-range capability for Ukraine means more guarantees that the Russian war will be stopped," the President emphasized.
