Search and rescue operations are continuing at the site of the shelling, as preliminary estimates suggest that about nine people may still be trapped under the rubble. The head of state called today’s attack one of the most massive since the start of the full-scale war and reported that 131 structures in the capital have been completely or partially destroyed. More than 100 people sought medical and psychological assistance, and another 17 people were rescued during emergency response efforts.

Emergency rescue operations at the damaged sites will continue at least until tomorrow. Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized Ukraine’s urgent need for an appropriate defense package, particularly anti-missile systems. According to the president, Norway had expressed its willingness to pay for 200 missiles for air defense systems, but none of them have been delivered to the country yet. The head of state added that to effectively intercept approximately 70 enemy ballistic missiles, Ukraine needs at least 140 Patriot missiles.
