Russian forces continue to regularly attack Ukraine with ballistic missiles. Since the beginning of this year alone, Russia has launched about 770 ballistic missiles and more than 50 Kinzhal missiles, according to the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Telegram.
"This night, Russia once again attacked Ukraine — this time with dozens of strike drones and nine ballistic missiles. Since the beginning of this year, Russia has launched about 770 ballistic missiles and more than 50 Kinzhals at Ukraine," Zelenskyy said.
According to the president, such attacks highlight the importance of Patriot systems to protect Ukrainian cities from this horror.
"It is very important that partners who have the capability act on what we discussed in recent days. No country should be left alone to face such evil. We must continue our cooperation," the president added.
