– Unfortunately, our F-16 pilot Maksym Ustimenko died while repelling the attack. Today he destroyed seven air targets. My condolences to his family and brothers. I have instructed to clarify all the circumstances of the death. Ukrainian aviation heroically protects the sky. Thank you to everyone who defends Ukraine, – Zelensky said.
He stressed that Moscow will not stop attacks as long as it has the ability to carry out massive strikes. In the last week alone, the Russian Federation has launched more than 114 missiles, more than 1,270 drones and almost 1,100 KABs.
— Putin decided long ago that he would continue to fight, despite the world's calls for peace. We need to end the war, we need pressure on the aggressor, we need protection. From ballistics, missiles and drones, from terror. Ukraine needs to strengthen its air defense. That which best protects life. These are American systems that we are ready to buy. We are counting on the leadership, political will and support of the United States, Europe and all our partners. Thank you to everyone who helps, — Zelensky added.
