After the new ones Russian airstrikes in Kyiv and other regions of his country, its president Ukrainian, Volodymyr Zelenskyin his speech last night (17/10) asked the international community to supply its armed forces with more anti-aircraft defense systems.
“The world can and must stop this terrorism. When we talk about Ukraine’s need for air and missile defense, we are talking about real lives being taken by terrorists.”he said.
“This is not only in the interest of Ukraine. The smaller Russia’s terrorist capabilities are, the faster the war will end. Russia has no luck on the battlefield and therefore resorts to terrorism”complete and continue:
“Why does he need to do this? To put pressure on us, as well as in Europe and around the world, but the terrorists must be neutralized. And when this happens to the Russian terrorists, they will have no choice but to think about peace.”he ruled.
Mr Zelensky repeated Kiev’s accusation that Russia attacked yesterday mainly with Iranian-designed UAVs. Ukrainian forces have intercepted and destroyed 37 such remote-controlled drones and several cruise missiles since Sunday night, he claimed.
“We managed to shoot down some of these drones and some cruise missiles, but we need more modern air defense systems and more missiles for these systems,” he said.
At least eight people were killed in yesterday’s strikes, four in Kyiv, among them a young couple expecting their first child, the Ukrainian head of state summed up. The Russian president “Vladimir Putin can record another “achievement”: he killed another pregnant woman”added Mr. Zelensky.
The morning of a new Russian terrorist attack. Hours of clearing debris and eliminating the consequences of strikes. The evening of battles for Ukraine and news for Ukraine. The next stage of the release of our people from Russian captivity took place – we managed to return 108 Ukrainian women. Officers, sergeants, privates. Army, Navy, territorial defense, National Guard, border guards. 96 are servicemen, 37 of them are evacuees from Azovstal. 12 – civilians. Among those released today are those who were captured long before the full-scale war. We do not forget about any of our people – we have to return them all. And we will return them all. I am grateful to all involved for this success, and I also thank all those who replenish our exchange fund, who ensure the capture of enemies. The more Russian prisoners we have, the sooner we will be able to free our heroes. We will do everything for the victory of Ukraine. Eternal glory to all our warriors! Eternal glory to our strong people!
