Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky tweeted: “New Russian missile assault on Kyiv. Over 30 missiles have been shot down, together with an air-launched ballistic missile. People have been injured, and they're all receiving the mandatory help.

“Such terror continues every day and night. It is possible to put an end to it through global unity. When it helps us with air defense systems. Russian terrorists do not have missiles capable of bypassing Patriot and other leading world systems.”
