Ukraine will retaliate against Russian terror with strikes on military targets — Zelenskyy

Volodymyr Zelenskyy said this in an evening video address.

“We will definitely continue to strike Russian military targets – with drones and missiles, increasingly with Ukrainian-made ones, specifically targeting military bases and Russian military infrastructure used in this terror against our people,” the statement reads.

According to the President, Ukraine's defense is completely justified.

“I thank all those around the world who support Ukraine in this, particularly those advocating for increased defense spending in European countries, for the modernization and technological advancement of arsenals in Europe. And I thank all those who ensure that the pressure on Russia for this war is increased,” Zelenskyy added.
