Throughout the day, response efforts continued across various regions of our state, from Kharkiv to Lviv, following Russian strikes. The Russians continue to use a specific tactic of terror against our state: launching saturated strikes on individual cities or regions of ours. They are trying to have the intensity of such strikes at around 300 “shahed” drones per attack.

Overnight from Friday to Saturday, 339 “shaheds” were launched. By early evening today, air raid alerts resumed and “shaheds” appeared again in the sky. A significant number of them are being shot down by our warriors, but, unfortunately, not all.

Moreover, the Russian army continues to use hundreds of special “shahed” imitator drones in each strike. The purpose of these drones is to overwhelm our air defense and impede the downing of “shaheds.” This is their deliberate and vile terror.

Tragically, there were casualties from the Russian strike last night. Two people were killed in Chernivtsi. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Dozens more were affected – in Chernivtsi, in the Lviv region, and in Kharkiv. All are receiving the necessary assistance. There is also damage in the Volyn region.

We are doing our utmost to provide Ukraine with as much equipment as possible to intercept drones and missiles. We are moving closer to an agreement – and it will be a multi-level agreement – for new Patriot systems and missiles for them. We are investing in our domestic production capacities, primarily for drones, including interceptor drones. We will continue our active drone operations on Russian territory in response to their attacks. And, as always, we will act asymmetrically – and effectively.
