The commander of the Air Force, Lieutenant General Nikolai Oleshchuk reported this on Telegram.
— Another difficult day of war! The enemy continues to attack Ukraine in different directions with guided bombs and aircraft missiles. Air forces use all available means and instruments to counter enemy tactical aircraft, keep them at a distance as far as possible, constrain the actions of enemy aircraft, and, on occasion, — destroy the enemy! — says the Air Force Commander.
He assured that anti-aircraft missile units, including Patriot, continue to carry out missions in certain areas of the front-line territories.

Oleschuk stated that Ukrainian pilots carry out combat missions every day, heroically destroying invaders. In particular, the defenders of the Ukrainian skies pay a high price to deter the aggressor and destroy him in the air, on land and at sea.
The Lieutenant General thanked “everyone who is in the ranks, everyone who helps” and especially noted the enormous contribution of thousands of volunteers to preserving the future of the Ukrainian people.
