Quote: "Every day, we are working with our partners to ensure our warriors have the means to counter these attacks. We must undercut Russia's gamble on ballistic terror. That is why it is so important that deliveries of anti-ballistic defence packages arrive on time. Every interceptor missile right now is literally helping save lives if it is here, in Ukrainian systems, not in our partners' warehouses."

Details: Zelenskyy also spoke about the latest Russian strike. "All the necessary emergency services have been deployed at the site of an attack drone strike on residential buildings in Kharkiv. Tragically, one person was killed, and nine others were injured, including two children. My condolences to their families and loved ones," he said.

Zelenskyy said State Emergency Service units are also continuing to extinguish the fire at a building supplies hypermarket in Kryvyi Rih.

"Overall, last night, Russia launched 8 missiles and 136 drones of various types against Ukraine. Many of them were shot down, but unfortunately, not all. The Kherson, Donetsk, Dnipro, Kharkiv, Sumy, Odesa, Mykolaiv, Zaporizhzhia, and Chernihiv regions, as well as Kyiv, came under attack. The capital was struck by ballistic missiles, and three people were injured," the president said.
