Russian forces fired 55 Kh-101 cruise missiles, a Kh-59 guided air missile, 22 S-300 anti-aircraft missiles and five drones at civilian targets in Ukraine on October 31.

The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Valeriy Zaluzhnyi, said this in a statement on Telegram, Ukrinform reports.

"We are waging a war against a country 28 times the size of our country, with a population four times larger than ours, a country whose military potential is many times greater than ours. We are waging a war on land, in the air, at sea, in cyberspace, etc. We've been waging a war not for eight months, but for eight years and eight months. All this testifies to our resilience, the courage to defend what is ours and the thirst to win," he said.

"Would other countries withstand such pressure? After all, today [October 31] the enemy used 55 Kh-101 cruise missiles, a Kh-59 guided air missile, 22 S-300 anti-aircraft missiles, four Shahed-136 UAVs and a Lancet-3 UAV on civilian targets in Ukraine," Zaluzhnyi said.

"I'm not sure about others, but we are holding on, regrouping, building up reserves, strengthening our defense and gradually liberating our native land. Victory is very difficult for us. But it will definitely come," he said.
