Today's Russian attack cost Ukraine EUR 80 million in missiles for air defense systems alone.

According to a Ukrinform correspondent, President Volodymyr Zelensky announced this during a conversation with journalists.

"Today's Russian attack cost us, and this is only the cost of the missiles, about €80 million. Imagine, that's the cost of these missiles. And every day we are doing everything, and I am doing everything, to ensure that we receive the appropriate missiles and the appropriate protection for people," Zelensky said.

According to him, it is very difficult to “find these missiles and get the money for them.”

“War is a very expensive Russian luxury. And for us, it means huge losses,” the president added.
