Quote: "Putin can't even pronounce the word 'hurrah' clearly anymore – slurs and mumbles – yet he is still vanquishing residential buildings with his missiles. [He] launched three Russian missiles against a water supply facility. Burned down a market. Damaged dozens of residential buildings. Hit several ordinary schools. Launched his Oreshnik against Bila Tserkva. They really are unhinged."

Details: Zelenskyy stressed that it is critically important to continue efforts to provide Ukraine with air defence systems, particularly those capable of countering ballistic missiles.

Quote: "Having Russia as a neighbour means living under a constant threat. Our people in Ukraine are containing and stopping that threat. But the world should clearly see who it is dealing with. This is the fifth year of the full-scale war, and from its very first moments it has been an unprovoked terrorist war by Russia against life.

We are doing our best to achieve peace and protect people – everything. It is important that Ukraine is not alone. Decisions are needed – from the United States, from Europe and others – to make that old 'Oreshnik' in Moscow finally utter the word 'peace'."

Background: On the night of 23-24 May, Russian forces carried out a large-scale combined attack, launching 90 missiles and 600 drones of various types, including an Oreshnik medium-range ballistic missile, the Ukrainian Air Force reported.
