According to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Russian troops started a huge attack on Ukrainian cities on Wednesday, using some 90 strike drones and ballistic and cruise missiles aimed at Kyiv.
“This morning, Russia launched yet another combined attack on our cities, and our air defense responded effectively,” Zelenskyy said in a message shared on X. Drones and Russian missiles, including ballistic and cruise missiles aimed toward Kyiv, were shot down. Ukraine was assaulted by about 90 strike drones in all.
Additionally, the Ukrainian president thanked the nation’s allies for the “timely delivery of interceptor missiles for their air defence.”
He said, “It is crucial that our forces have the necessary means to defend the country from Russian terror. I am grateful to each of our partners who help us. Timely delivery of interceptor missiles for our air defense, fulfilling agreements on defense systems, and electronic warfare production and supply are, without exaggeration, lifesaving efforts.”
“Every successful interception by our air defense saves lives and protects critical infrastructure. And the more successful our warriors are, the closer we move toward ending this war. This is how peace through strength is achieved,” the post further said.
Zelenskky also claimed that he had a conversation with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in which the two leaders discussed strengthening defense cooperation to meet Ukraine’s demands.
Sharing a post in the early hours on Wednesday on X, Zelenskyy wrote, “I spoke with Canada’s Prime Minister @JustinTrudeau, and thanked him for Canada’s multifaceted support for Ukraine, including its principled support for the Victory Plan. Ukraine counts on Canada to continue advocating for the first point of the Victory Plan–our invitation to NATO. I asked Prime Minister to keep working with allies, both in future multilateral formats and in direct talks.”
“I also expressed my gratitude for Canada’s public support for using long-range weapons against military targets on the territory of Russia. Additionally, we coordinated steps ahead of the G20 summit, underscoring the importance of Ukraine’s stance for a just and lasting peace, and discussed strengthening our defense cooperation to address Ukraine’s immediate needs,” the post added.
