Zelenskyy called on partners to make a decision that would make it possible to destroy terrorists “preventively”

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy calls on partners to take a solution that would allow them to preemptively attack points of concentration of Russian troops, as well as speed up and increase the supply of F-16 fighters to Ukraine.

This was stated in the president’s evening address .

“Many leaders, representatives of states and international organizations, public figures expressed their condolences to Ukraine and Kharkiv, condemned Russian terror. And it is important that such condemnation leads to completely fair consequences. So that we finally have enough air defence systems to protect Ukraine, our And so that partners have sufficient determination to preventively protect against Russian terrorists in the same way as they would against any other terrorists - destroying them before they begin to destroy lives.

We see every point of concentration of Russian troops, we know all the launch areas of Russian missiles and combat aircraft. Destroying this terrorist force, which means saving thousands of lives and ensuring that the expansion of the war is stopped, is a purely political decision. A decision to be made. I thank everyone who supports us in this.

We will work with partners to speed up and increase deliveries of F-16s to Ukraine. This will also give us protection from terrorist attacks on our cities and from pressure from the Russian army at the front.”

Zelenskyy also said that all day in Kharkiv, the removal of rubble at the site where Russian bombs hit a hypermarket, the building of which was completely burned down, continues.

“As of now, 14 people are known to have died. My condolences to all the relatives and friends. The total number of deaths may be higher - after the fire, additional examinations and additional work are needed to provide complete information about the dead. The number of injured is more than 40,” - he said.
