Restoration efforts continue after last night’s strike. It was a massive attack involving many ballistic missiles: at least 25 ballistic missiles were fired, along with aerobalistic and cruise missiles, plus more than 450 drones of various types. It was a very flagrant and largely demonstrative strike.

Over the course of the night, Ukraine’s Defense Forces neutralized more than 400 drones, which is a significant result – achieved by our unmanned systems units, army aviation, and mobile fire groups. Electronic warfare did its job. Some of the missiles were also shot down – although, of course, it is extremely difficult to counter ballistic and aeroballistic missiles. Only a few systems in the world are capable of intercepting such missiles effectively – and to protect our entire territory, we need far more of these systems and far more of the missiles for them.

We are working with our partners, with the United States, to purchase additional Patriots, and we are very much counting on the support. I am grateful to every leader. I am grateful to every one of our friends in Europe, in America, in Asia, who is supporting us and is trying to help. Decisions are coming.
