Quote: "Over the past five days, Russia has launched over 450 missiles and drones at Ukraine. 

Putin has killed and injured civilians, temporarily taken out light and heat for thousands, and tried to break the will of a nation – but he’s only strengthened the resolve of Ukrainians to defend their freedom and ours to support Ukraine in their existential fight – which matters for the security of Europe and beyond."

Previously: On 2 January, Russia launched 99 missiles of various types towards Ukraine, 72 of which were destroyed. Valerii Zaluzhnyi, Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, noted that the Russians had attacked civilian and critical infrastructure, industrial and military facilities. They mainly targeted the Ukrainian capital.
