“In total, there were over 390 strike drones and 34 missiles of various types – ballistic, cruise, and guided air-launched missiles. These numbers clearly show that more protection is needed to save lives from Russian strikes. It is important to continue supporting Ukraine. It is important that all agreements on air defense are implemented on time. And it is important that Europe is able to produce the necessary number of air defense missiles to protect itself against any threats,” he added.

Zelensky noted that recovery efforts are currently underway following the massive Russian attack overnight across regions of Ukraine.

As reported by Ukrinform, intelligence services received information that the Russians might be preparing a massive strike on the night of March 23.
