Quote from Zelenskyy: "Russian combat aviation must be destroyed wherever it is, using any effective means. It is also quite fair to strike Russian airfields. We need this joint decision with our partners – a security decision.
This is the only way to ensure protection for our people. This week alone, Russia has used more than 600 guided aerial bombs against Ukraine.
We must stop this daily Russian terror with strong joint decisions."
