Quote: "89 Shahed drones were shot down last night, all of those used by Russian terrorists during this attack. And this is an important result. Ukrainians can fully protect their skies from Russian strikes when they have sufficient supplies."
Details: The president added that the same level of defence is crucial against Russian missiles and their combat aircraft.
"And this can be achieved. We need sufficiently courageous decisions from our partners – enough air defence systems, enough range. And Ukrainians will do everything correctly and precisely," Zelenskyy pointed out.
Background: On the night of 30-31 July, Russian forces attacked Ukraine with a Kh-59 guided missile and 89 Shahed loitering munitions. Ukrainian air defence units destroyed all the targets.
