Zelenskiy said Russia launched 656 attack drones and 73 missiles overnight,
including ballistic, cruise and anti-ship missiles. He warned the scale of the
strikes shows attacks will continue unless Ukraine is protected from ballistic
and other missile strikes. He called on Europe to establish its own
anti-ballistic missile defense and urged the US to provide missiles for Patriot
air-defense systems, saying Kyiv expects partner support and an effective
response to today’s strikes.
