FM Kuleba calls on partners to speed up air and missile defense system deliveries

Ukraine needs more modern air and missile defense systems to save innocent lives.

The relevant statement was made by Ukrainian Foreign Affairs Minister Dmytro Kuleba on Twitter after Russia’s massive missile attack on the city of Zaporizhzhia, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

“Russia continues its missile terror against civilians in Zaporizhzhia. 12 strikes on residential areas overnight, at least 12 killed and many more wounded. We urgently need more modern air and missile defense systems to save innocent lives. I urge partners to speed up deliveries,” Kuleba wrote.

A reminder that last night Russian troops used tactical air forces against civilians in Zaporizhzhia, having fired 12 missiles. Most projectiles hit apartment blocks and detached houses. Currently, a total of 12 civilians have been reported killed and 49 injured, including six children.
