Since the beginning of the week, 11 of our regions have come under attack – in less than three days, the Russians used nearly 530 drones and two air-launched guided missiles against Ukraine. Russia added to the list of its new victories a Panama-flagged container ship, agricultural enterprises, railway and energy facilities, and, most of all, ordinary residential buildings. Dozens of people were wounded.
Every day, Ukraine’s diplomatic efforts must be aimed at strengthening the protection of our sky. There have been many international meetings and negotiations on air defense recently, and it is important to ensure that all agreements are implemented, above all regarding PURL. Even more can be decided at the G7 and NATO summits. Ukraine needs protection – this is a prerequisite for diplomacy to work. I thank all partners who are helping.
