Last night, Russia attacked Ukraine again—this time with dozens of attack drones and nine ballistic missiles. There was a missile strike on Kyiv. Sadly, there are killed people. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Dozens of people were injured. And almost every attack against our people now involves combined strikes using ballistic missiles. Since the beginning of this year alone, Russia has launched approximately 770 ballistic missiles and more than 50 Kinzhal missiles against Ukraine.
It is precisely because of such attacks that we pay special attention to Patriot systems—to be able to protect our cities from this horror. It is critical that partners who possess relevant capability implement what we have discussed in recent days. No country should be left alone in the face of such evil. We must continue our cooperation. Everything is doable. Our partners have the necessary systems and they can already help defend Ukraine.
America, Europe, and the G7 countries can help ensure that such attacks no longer threaten lives. Russia’s ballistic strikes must be met with a response from powerful nations in real cooperation to protect lives.
