“Our warriors all over Ukraine distinguished themselves, and I thank all our Air Commands: Center, South, East and West.

“And especially we are grateful to the warriors of the 96th Kyiv, 160th Odesa, 208th Kherson anti-aircraft missile brigades, whose results are the best today.

“Unfortunately, there were several hits. Our power engineers and repair crews are doing everything to make Ukrainians feel the consequences of the terrorists’ strike as little as possible. And I thank everyone who is working to restore energy supply.

“As of this evening, there are power outages in most regions of Ukraine. It is especially difficult in Kyiv region and the capital, Lviv region, Odesa and the region, Kherson and the region, Vinnytsia region and Zakarpattia.

“But this is nothing compared to what could have happened, if it was not for our heroic anti-aircraft troops and air defence.

“With each such missile strike, Russia is only driving itself deeper into a dead end. They have fewer and fewer missiles. Instead, the status of the biggest terrorist in the world will have consequences for Russia and its citizens for a long time. And each missile only confirms that all this must end with a tribunal. And that is exactly what will happen.

“And despite all the strikes, the state works every day. The Office, the Cabinet of Ministers – everyone is working.

“In particular, today I had two large meetings, economic and defence. We are working to ensure that our defenders have more opportunities, more weapons, more drones.”
