President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky notes that the Ukrainian authorities, together with international partners, are doing everything possible to increase the supply of air defense systems.

“It was a long and very busy day. In the morning, we received reports from our warriors, from air defense on the downing of Shaheds. There were 37 Shaheds in total during this one night. Some of them were shot down. But only part of them. Fortunately, people were not injured. There were hits in the southern areas – Odesa region, our ports. We are doing our best with our partners to increase the supply of air defense systems,” the President said in his evening address.

According to him, it’s very important for the world not to get used to this Russian terror.

“Every hit is a common problem. Not only for Ukraine, but also for all those in the world whose stability Russia is trying to destroy by attacking our ports and infrastructure,” Zelensky stressed.
