Putin has killed and injured civilians, temporarily taken out light and heat for thousands, and tried to break the will of a nation – but he’s only strengthened the resolve of Ukrainians to defend their freedom and ours to support Ukraine in their existential fight – which matters for the security of Europe and beyond."

Previously: On 2 January, Russia launched 99 missiles of various types towards Ukraine, 72 of which were destroyed. Valerii Zaluzhnyi, Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, noted that the Russians had attacked civilian and critical infrastructure, industrial and military facilities. They mainly targeted the Ukrainian capital.
