The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyi, in his address to the people on Saturday night, once again called for the creation of a reliable air defense shield so that “the terror of Russian missiles becomes impossible.”

“I will always remember… Dear partners! Find an opportunity to provide Ukraine with reliable protection of the sky, a reliable air defense shield. You can do it. You can ensure the protection of our people – one hundred percent protection from these Russian terrorist attacks. When this happens, the main form of Russian terror – missile – will become simply impossible. And this will mean safety for Ukrainians, safety for millions of people and a strategic restructuring of the entire military situation. The fewer opportunities Russia has for terror, the more opportunities we will have to restore and guarantee peace,” he said, according to News.ro.

Zelenskyi also spoke about the fact that electricity was restored to almost 6 million Ukrainians on Saturday.

“Of course, there is still a lot of work ahead to stabilize the system. Problems with heat supply, big problems with water supply. The most difficult situation is in the city of Kyiv and the region, Vinnytsia and the region, Lviv and the region. But, unfortunately, there are large-scale blackouts in many other regions (…). Russia spares no resources for the war against our people – against all Ukrainians from Lutsk to Kharkiv, from Sumy to Odesa. And I am grateful to every leader, I am grateful to every nation – to our partners who understand that Russia’s large-scale “investment” in terror is more than 4,000 missiles! It is necessary to overcome this by even more helping those people against whom this terror is directed,” the Ukrainian president added.
