️🇺🇦🇷🇺. President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky:
Just in the last week, Russia used more than 2,300 drones, 1,590 aerial bombs and 15 different types of missiles against Ukraine. Brutal blows that are hard to withstand. During the night and into the morning, the Russians attacked energy infrastructure in Zaporizhzhia and the regions of Sumy, Odessa, Zhytomyr and Kirovohrad. The railway infrastructure in the Dnipro, Kharkiv and Zaporizhia regions were also attacked. Russia also carried out attacks in the regions of Donetsk and Kiev. 16 people were reported injured.
The Russians are targeting substations with "variety". And many of these attacks get through because the limitations on the speed of operation of Starshield terminals along the front line and in the temporarily occupied territories still exist. Our interceptor drones lose contact with their operators at 161 kilometers per hour (100 miles per hour) and simply cannot catch up with the Russian "jets". We trust that these restrictions will be removed. The protection of life and the energy infrastructure of Ukraine in the run-up to the winter depends directly on this. The teams of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Defense and the Office of the President were instructed to work as closely as possible with the American side and SpaceX. It is important to be on the right side of history. It is essential to help Ukraine. Thanks to everyone who supports our defense.
