According to him, Russia deployed 24 ballistic missiles, four \u00abZircon\/Onyx\u00bb missiles and 115 drones, a significant proportion of which were jet-powered. The President linked the severe consequences of the strike to Ukraine\u2019s need for anti-ballistic interceptors.<\/p>\n<div class=\"news-summary-box\">\n<p><strong>Briefly about the main points<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Following the attack on Kyiv and the Kyiv region, 17 people are known to have been killed.<\/li>\n<li>Forty-four people were injured, the president said.<\/li>\n<li>The targets listed include civilian facilities, infrastructure and a railway station.<\/li>\n<li>Zelenskyy has called for the delivery of anti-ballistic interceptor missiles to be expedited.<\/li>\n<li>The President also called on the G7 and the EU to impose further sanctions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2>The targets included the warehouses of civilian enterprises and a railway station<\/h2>\n<p>The main target of the attack was the warehouses of civilian enterprises, <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/V_Zelenskiy_official\/20296\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said.<\/a> <strong>Volodymyr Zelenskyy<\/strong>.

He urged partners not to delay the supply of anti-ballistic equipment, stressing that delays or a reluctance to provide it lead to casualties and destruction.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Ministry of Defence, specialised systems and munitions are required to engage ballistic targets, in particular PAC-3 missiles for <a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/main-news\/tramp-ne-pohodyvsia-300-raket-patriot-ukraini\/\">Patriot<\/a>. Anti-drone interceptors are not a substitute for such systems, as they are ineffective against ballistic missiles.<\/p>\n<p>As a further step, the president proposed new sanctions from the G7, the EU and other partners. According to him, a significant proportion of Russia\u2019s ballistic missile production facilities are still not subject to sanctions.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During a large-scale attack on Kyiv and the Kyiv region, 17 people were killed and 44 were injured.
