On June 29, Ukrainian officials reported the largest air strike since the war began, with over 500 aerial weapons, including drones and missiles, targeting Ukrainian cities. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy highlighted the scale of the attack, which resulted in civilian injuries, including children, and emphasized the need for Western military support to bolster air defenses. The Ukrainian Air Force claimed significant success in intercepting many of the threats, underscoring ongoing hostilities with Russia and the critical situation for civilians in Ukraine.
Almost all night long, air raid alerts sounded across Ukraine -- 477 drones were in our skies, most of them Russian-Iranian Shaheds, along with 60 missiles of various types.
A residential building in Smila was also hit, and a child was injured, referring to an attack in the central province of Cherkasy that wounded six people.
Ukraine needs to strengthen its air defense -- the thing that best protects lives. These are American systems, which we are ready to buy.
The latest Russian assault was 'the most massive air strike' on Ukraine since Russia's full-scale invasion of the country began in February 2022.
