Volodymyr Zelensky officially confirms the largest Russian drone attack on Ukraine, so far, and it is because during the night from Saturday to Sunday, many drones attacked various Ukrainian cities, causing some destruction, but without loss of human life.
Volodymyr Zelensky says that the anti-aircraft defense systems used by Ukraine managed to destroy the vast majority of drones that were launched by Russia, but even so, we are talking about a very powerful attack launched in the midst of war.
"Today, our country went through one of the largest Russian attacks of martyrs - 54 drones at a time. Almost everyone was shot down… Almost! Unfortunately, there were some strikes in the Zhytomyr region. We will do everything to help restore what was destroyed.
But still, most of the destruction was avoided and most of the lives that could have been taken by these Shahed were saved.
I am grateful to every single person who made this possible! Air Force anti-aircraft missile troops and aviation, Ground Forces air defense and our mobile fire groups… Thank you, warriors!
During this terrorist attack, the strongest blow was directed against the Kiev region. In the city of Kiev and in the region, 36 drones were shot down. This is how Russia celebrates the day of our old Kiev...
Throughout its history, Kiev has seen various atrocities from invaders. It has outlived them all and will outlive the Russians. None of them will be here!
We march forward until we liberate all our Ukrainian land… We defend every town… We take care of each other and remember all our people we must bring home from Russian captivity to their towns and villages.
Glory to our beautiful people! Glory to all who care about our country! Glory to Ukraine!"
