Ukraine needs air defense, not long discussions: Zelenskyy reacts to massive Russian attack

He wrote about this on social media.

"I am grateful to everyone who is now eliminating the consequences of the Russian attack, and to every soldier of our air defense system who was on guard at night. Over 40 missiles and about 40 more attack drones. We managed to shoot down some of the missiles and drones. Unfortunately, only part of them," the president said.

According to him, the invading Russian forces again targeted critical infrastructure facilities. Therefore, Zelenskyy called on partners to help: “It is here, right now, with our ability to overcome Russian terror that the world can prove that everyone perceives terror as a crime equally.

"We need air defense and other defense support, not turning a blind eye and long discussions," the president added.

On the night of April 11, the Russian troops launched a massive air attack on Ukrainian territory. Several groups of drones flew out, followed by cruise missiles from strategic bombers, ballistic missiles and hypersonic "Kinzhals". Ukrainian air defense was working. The Russian army damaged the power substations and generation facilities in Odesa, Zaporizhzhia, Kharkiv, Lviv and Kyiv regions.
