Volodymyr Zelensky talks about the merciless attacks of Russia in recent days, about the missiles and drones launched by the Russians against Ukraine, but also about what was shot down thanks to the anti-aircraft defense systems offered by the Western countries.
"The enemy launched a second wave of terrorist attacks against our country. As of this morning, 28 missiles have been shot down, 20 of which have been shot down. More than 15 drones, almost all of them are Iranian attack drones. Most are shot down.
Restoration work is taking place quite quickly and efficiently throughout the country. Had it not been for today's strikes, they would have already restored the electricity supply, water supply and communications that the terrorists damaged yesterday. And today, Russia will accomplish one additional thing: it will delay our recovery a bit.
Where there was destruction, the infrastructure will be renewed everywhere. Where there have been losses, there is already or will be construction. Where there were hopes of the enemy, there will be ruins of the Russian state.
Humanity and humanity are stronger than any terrorist. Thanks to everyone who fights and works for our victory!
Children or adults. Educational or cultural object. An object of critical infrastructure or, for example, a memorial to the victims of the Holocaust. All of these are equal targets for Russia.
More than 2.600 educational facilities have already been destroyed or damaged by Russian terrorist attacks. 540 is the total number of cultural heritage objects, cultural institutions and buildings of worship damaged by Russian strikes in Ukraine during the large-scale war since February 24. Almost 200 temples destroyed or damaged!
I thank UNESCO for its support of Ukraine at this time and for all the statements of principle that have been made to protect Ukraine and culture from Russian aggression. But still, new steps are needed – steps that Russia will feel.”
