"This week alone, the Russian army has launched more than 30 missiles and over 800 guided aerial bombs. The Russians have no geographical restrictions on the use of such weapons—since the first days of the full-scale war, the entire territory of our state has been under constant threat of attack," Zelensky wrote.

He recalled that in the early hours of Sunday, August 11, a man and his four-year-old son were killed in an attack targeting Kyiv region. A 12-year-old boy was among the injured.

"According to preliminary information, the Russians used a North Korean missile in this attack—yet another deliberate terrorist strike against Ukraine. Pyrotechnic experts are still working to determine the exact data regarding this missile," the president noted.

He once again emphasized that, in order to effectively protect Ukrainian settlements, the country needs “strong decisions” from partners that would lift restrictions on Ukraine’s defensive efforts.
