Since the beginning of 2024, Russian terrorists have launched over 330 missiles of various types and approximately 600 drones on Ukrainian territory, according to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's X.
"Russia has launched over 330 missiles of various types and approximately 600 combat drones at Ukrainian cities since the beginning of the year. To withstand such terrorist pressure, a sufficiently strong air shield is required. And this is the type of air shield we are building with our partners," writes Zelenskyy.
The President emphasizes that Ukraine's control over its airspace is critically important for ensuring security on the ground - from frontline positions to hospitals and schools in the rear.
"Air defense and electronic warfare are our top priorities. Russian terror must be defeated—this is achievable," states the head of the state.
On January 30, Russian terrorists launched 35 Shahed kamikaze drones and two guided missiles S-300 on Ukraine.

Using air defense systems, 15 enemy UAVs were destroyed within the territories of the Mykolaiv, Sumy, Cherkasy, Kirovohrad, Dnipro, Kharkiv, Kherson, and Kyiv regions.
Part of the strike UAVs was directed towards the front-line territories, attempting to target infrastructure in the fuel and energy sector, civilian and military objects near the front line, and the state border with Russia.
