Commenting on how the allies jointly defended Israel to repel the Iranian attack, the President of Ukraine said that this was "really a demonstration of what allies are not on paper, but in the sky." In his opinion, Israel would not have been able to defend itself against such a massive attack.
Zelenskyy pointed out that "a lot of things that Ukraine lacks" were used then and that it is now in short supply.
"I'll give you one very simple example - at the Trypilska station, and light in the Kyiv region depends on it. There were 11 missiles flying. We destroyed the first 7, 4 destroyed Trypilska. Why? Because there were zero missiles. We have run out of all the missiles that defended Trypilska", the President emphasized.
- On the night of April 11, russians launched a massive air attack on the territory of Ukraine. A total of 82 air attack vehicles were launched. The Ukrainian air defense forces destroyed 18 missiles and 39 attack drones.
- As a result of the massive attack, the russian federation completely destroyed the Trypilska thermal power plant in Kyiv region. Ukraine's Foreign Minister, Dmitro Kuleba, said that the thermal power plant would not have been destroyed by the russians if the country had modern Patriot air defense systems.
