Quote from Oleshchuk: "Thirteen Kinzhal Kh-47 missiles were destroyed in May and June, as well as over 20 ballistic missiles and other Russian and Iranian junk!

I thank you, warriors, for your excellent work! I am also grateful to [Ukraine’s – ed.] partners, whose equipment is now saving the lives of many Ukrainians!"
