Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky spoke about the increasing air attacks by the Russian army, particularly aimed at civilian life during the winter months.

Drawing attention to Russia’s strategic objectives, Zelensky said, “Russia’s current main target is our energy sector, our critical infrastructure and our homes. Just this week, the Russians launched more than 1,700 attack drones, over 1,380 guided aerial bombs and 69 missiles of various types.”

Emphasizing defense cooperation with Western allies to prevent the devastating impact of the attacks, Zelensky stated, “That is why missiles for air defense systems are needed every day, and we continue to work with the United States and Europe to ensure stronger protection of our skies. Today in Vilnius, we are coordinating with our regional partners Lithuania and Poland. We are working with every leader to strengthen Ukraine.”

Zelensky concluded his remarks by stressing the importance of regional security and the need to correctly assess the threat coming from Russia at a global level, saying, “Everyone must clearly understand the threat coming from Russia, and those who understand it best are our nations. I thank everyone who helps us remain strong.”
