Quote: "It was a complex attack that the Russians tried to plan to cause as much harm to life as possible…

Overall, our warriors downed 175 aerial assets overnight, but unfortunately, not all of them. Despite very good results against cruise missiles, ballistic missiles remain particularly difficult to intercept, and every day we make the case to our partners for our need for interceptors. We have already discussed this with the Americans and Europeans, and there will be more meetings, including today, with representatives of countries and companies that can help with supplies and with our anti-ballistic system – Freyja."

Background:

• After the departure of the US president's special envoys, Russia began attacking Kyiv with jet-powered drones.
• On the night of 7-8 September, Russian forces attacked Ukraine with anti-ship, ballistic and cruise missiles, as well as 166 attack drones. The main strikes targeted Kyiv Oblast and Odesa Oblast.
