Last night, Kyiv came under a massive Russian attack. Russia launched 68 missiles and 351 attack drones. Response efforts are still underway. Damage has been recorded at more than 10 locations across the city, including residential buildings. All necessary services are on the ground, doing everything possible to rescue people and provide assistance to everyone who needs it. So far, 64 people have been rescued, including two children. As of now, it has been confirmed that, tragically, eleven people were killed in this attack. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Around 60 more people were injured.
In the Kyiv region, sixteen people were injured and three people were killed. My condolences to their families and loved ones. A fire is still burning at the site of the missile strike in Vyshneve. People are being evacuated from a residential area. More than 400 first responders and police officers have been deployed to deal with the aftermath of the attack.
Our warriors performed well today in intercepting drones and cruise missiles, but unfortunately not Russian ballistic missiles. And the reason lies in the insufficient supply of interceptor missiles. It is critically important that the world – first and foremost the United States and our European partners – come out of the NATO Summit in Ankara with strong decisions in support of our air defense, and thus the protection of ordinary people’s lives. As long as Patriot missiles remain in our allies' stockpiles, Russia is only encouraged to keep “vanquishing” residential buildings. The United States and Europe have enough strength to stop this terror.
#UPDATE: An 18-year-old man was killed and five others, including two children, were wounded in a shooting in San Antonio late Saturday night

Intelligence once again indicates that the Russians are preparing a new massive strike. This is typical of Putin: right after America’s Independence Day and before the NATO Summit in Ankara. Russia wants to bring more evil and kill people. Please stay safe and heed any air raid alerts.
Separately, to partners: any delay with missiles for our air defense – missiles for Patriots – means the loss of lives, and it encourages Russia to continue the war. The world has the necessary quantity and quality of air defense. What is needed are your decisions to ensure real protection of lives in Ukraine.
Above all, these are, of course, decisions by the United States, decisions by the strong countries in Europe and around the world. Please be active in your decisions and protect lives. Missiles for Patriots are needed not in warehouses right now, but in Patriot units in Ukraine. I thank everyone who is providing real help.
I spoke with the President of France. @EmmanuelMacron clearly knows all the details of the current diplomatic prospects. And it is important that every step we take in negotiations, in putting pressure on Russia, and in bringing peace closer is as well prepared and as closely coordinated with our key partners as possible.
Our position is that Europe must be involved in the diplomatic process, and Europe’s voice must carry weight. Of course, I briefed the President on the situation on the battlefield and on the key threats. Russia is doing everything it can to continue missile and drone strikes against Ukrainian territory, against our cities and villages. We discussed our options for countering these attacks, protecting lives, and the need for additional air defense systems. We very much hope for France’s support and strong decisions. Thank you!
I spoke with the @SwedishPM. I am grateful to Ulf for his support and for his clear position on Russia’s war against Ukraine, against our people.
The key issue is, naturally, air defense. We now see that the Russians are putting their eggs in the basket of ballistic missile strikes, combined attacks, and jet-powered “shaheds.” Protection against this is the key to depriving Russia of the ability to drag out the war. Of course, Ulf and I discussed steps that can be taken to enhance our defense capabilities. We are working actively to ensure, on time, all the infrastructure, training and operational deployment of the Swedish Gripen fighter jets. This is a historic strengthening of our combat aviation and major economic cooperation between Ukraine and Sweden in the security sphere. It must be absolutely effective. We are also working within the Ukraine-Sweden Drone Deal format.
We agreed on our next contacts. Thank you!
Over this past week, Russia used around 2,200 attack drones against Ukraine, more than 1,730 guided aerial bombs, and 106 missiles of various types, nearly half of them ballistic. Sumy, Zaporizhzhia, Kherson, Kharkiv, and Dnipro, as well as our border and frontline communities, are under fire almost every day. There was a massive strike on Kyiv that claimed the lives of 31 people and injured another 102, including four children. My condolences to their families and loved ones.
Every day, we must protect lives from these attacks. We already have the capabilities to effectively shoot down more than 90% of drones, but, unfortunately, not all ballistic missiles are intercepted. And it is ballistic missiles that Moscow is now leaning on to continue its war. And every day, we are working to strengthen air defense for Ukraine: through PURL and through our bilateral contacts with countries that have not joined PURL but do have the missiles we so urgently need. We are also strengthening our air defense through joint work with Europeans on anti-ballistic capabilities. We need answers from our partners to our requests for air defense. Every package of interceptor missiles provides real protection for lives. I thank all leaders who are finding ways to help in this particular area.
Ukrainian Navy Day. I thank all our naval servicemembers, marines, ship crews, coastal units, and everyone serving in the Navy. It is thanks to your courage that our maritime area remains under Ukrainian control, our southern regions are protected from Russian attacks, and the marines, together with other units of the Defense Forces, are holding back the occupier in the most difficult sectors of the front.
The Ukrainian Navy has proven to the entire world that strength is not always measured by the number of ships or resources. Professionalism, resolve, and devotion to one’s country have delivered a result that all of Ukraine is proud of. We will continue to strengthen our fleet, our marines, and all the capabilities of the Navy.
And most importantly, we remember everyone who gave their life for Ukraine. Eternal honor to our heroes. I thank everyone who is defending our state. Happy Ukrainian Navy Day!
I spoke with German Chancellor Merz @bundeskanzler. I’m grateful for the support and assistance to our people and our country. Germany is one of the world's leaders in protecting lives, and we deeply value that.
The key priority now is missiles for the Patriot systems – to protect our people from Russian ballistic attacks. That was the main focus of our conversation: the possibility of supplying our Patriot systems with the missiles we need, because Russia is making its final bet on missile strikes against Ukraine. It has no other options for dragging out the war.
The Chancellor and I also discussed the situation on the front lines. I briefed him on the latest developments and our results. Now, on the eve of America's Independence Day, Putin has chosen to lie to the world and to the President of the United States about the situation on the front. He claims that Russian forces have supposedly captured Kostiantynivka in the Donbas. Of course, that is not true. It is just another Russian lie, an attempt to generate some kind of a news story. If Kostiantynivka were under Russian control, then perhaps Putin would have no problem meeting me there to find a diplomatic way to finally end this war. But the fact is, he won't cross the front line – reality is very different from Putin’s words.
Thank you to all our warriors for defending Ukraine and our people. Thank you, Germany! Thank you to everyone who stands with Ukraine!
Efforts to deal with the aftermath of the Russian airstrike are ongoing in Sumy. The Russians used guided aerial bombs against ordinary people in the city center. There may still be people trapped under the rubble of an apartment building. Tragically, as of now, four people have been confirmed killed, including a child. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Another 27 people were injured, including six children. Many sustained severe injuries.
Throughout the day, Russia also struck Zaporizhzhia, where a drone attack killed two people and injured six others, including a child. Kharkiv was targeted by an enemy FPV drone, leaving people injured there as well. Communities across the Kharkiv, Dnipro, and Donetsk regions also came under attack.
It is essential that our partners pressure Russia so that this terror comes to an end. Those Russia will listen to are, without a doubt, the United States, other G7 and G20 countries, and Europe. We must remember that Europe has tools it can use to pressure this aggressor – above all, pressure its energy sector, its oil fleet, and its financial system. Those tools must be used. We must also take further steps to strengthen our defense, first and foremost our air defense. I am grateful to every leader who remains active and does not waste a single day.
Day of the Anti-Aircraft Missile Forces of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The warriors who, day and night, protect our people, cities, and critical infrastructure from Russian attacks. It is the anti-aircraft missile forces that are the main deterrent against Russian aircraft intruding into our airspace. Drones, missiles, aircraft: over the years of the war, our warriors of the anti-aircraft missile forces have already shot down tens of thousands of enemy targets. And all of us see the results of this work. It was a Ukrainian Patriot unit that, on May 4, 2023, shot down a Kinzhal aeroballistic missile for the first time in the world.
Ukraine is already in its fifth year of living under constant massive air strikes. The modern world has not yet faced attacks on such a scale. And despite this, our warriors of the anti-aircraft missile forces prove their effectiveness every day, defending Ukraine’s skies. The warriors have successfully mastered and operate modern foreign air defense systems. The combat experience of the anti-aircraft missile forces is among the greatest in the world.
I thank each and every one of you for your service, for your accuracy, and for every life saved.
Emergency and rescue operations are still ongoing in Kyiv at three sites of last night’s Russian strikes. First responders have already managed to clear a significant part of the rubble, but 10 people are still missing. The search operation will continue for as long as needed. As of now, it is known that 30 people were killed in yesterday’s attack on Kyiv. My condolences to all their families and loved ones. Nearly one hundred people were wounded, including children.
Yesterday evening, the Russians attacked Kryvyi Rih, striking the territory of an ordinary garage cooperative. Seven people were wounded. Residential buildings and two schools were damaged. A private home in the Kharkiv region was attacked overnight. Six people were injured, three of them children. Yesterday afternoon, the Russians launched missile strikes on the regional hospital in Kherson. They knew exactly what they were targeting and that there was no military purpose in it. Sadly, a doctor was killed, and a nurse was also wounded. Overnight in the Sumy region, a drone strike on an apartment building killed four people, including a mother and her daughter. My condolences to their families and loved ones.
Every day and every night, the Russians strike ordinary civilian infrastructure, and terror is the only argument they have left for not stopping the war. Reliable protection of Ukraine’s skies is needed as a prerequisite for diplomacy. We count on the support of our partners, above all with anti-ballistic capabilities. I am grateful to everyone who is already helping.
Dak Prescott had 101 completions of 10+ air yards last season.
32 of those qualified as “pressure throws” according to NFL-Pro
Below are just a few from the All22 that help contextualize PFF’s grade which listed the Cowboys QB (87.8) as the most-clutch QB in the 2025 regular season.
Clutch Grades are defined by:
•performance in the 4th QTR & OT in which the QB’s team trails by 14 or less OR leads by 8 or less.
side note📝, the top 5 “clutch” list in its entirety is as follows:
1. Dak Prescott (87.8)
2. Matthew Stafford (87.4)
3. Lamar Jackson (82.9)
4. Sam Darnold (82.4)

ARM ARROGANT DAK PRESCOTT 🎥🍿
Unfortunately, there is a shortage of anti-ballistic capabilities – a shortage of Patriots – while Putin still intends to “vanquish” residential buildings rather than end his war.
We have been discussing licenses for the production of Patriots with the U.S. Administration for a long time already. I thank all the countries helping through the PURL program, which enables us to purchase interceptors for Patriots. However, to reliably protect lives, we need our own production.
European production here in Ukraine, or jointly with our partners, would also support the U.S. in operations whenever needed. We hope for a positive response from President Trump to protect lives. I also thank everyone who has expressed condolences to Ukraine today, everyone who has not remained silent and condemned Russian terror.
It is important that the world does not remain silent about today’s utterly cynical Russian attack against our people. Thank you for your words of condolence and your willingness to help us. Defending against ballistic missiles is impossible without a sufficient number of missiles for Patriot systems. This is our greatest priority right now. We discussed which partners can help and how exactly. We will work on this.
Alex noted the successes of our warriors on the front. Everyone can see how the situation is shifting in Ukraine’s favor and how effective the long-range sanctions are. This is the right kind of pressure on Russia. We are looking for formats to reinvigorate diplomacy. We exchanged views on ideas that could help and coordinated our next steps.
We also discussed our bilateral defense cooperation. We are preparing to conclude important agreements in the near future. Thank you, Alex. Thank you, Finland!
