“Most of the targets were shot down, but not the ballistics,” Zelenskyy showed the consequences of the strikes on Kyiv.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy acknowledged that on the night of July 11, Ukrainian defenders were unable to shoot down any of the ballistic missiles launched at Kyiv.

“Russia used more than 120 drones and 12 missiles overnight, half of which were ballistic. Our defenders managed to shoot down most of the targets, but not the ballistic missiles,” the president noted in his Telegram post .

According to him, 11 people, including a child, were injured during the Russian attack overnight. “Even before the air raid alert was issued, civilian infrastructure was hit. Emergency services are working on the ground: residential buildings, offices, and a theological seminary were damaged in the capital,” the president wrote.

Zelenskyy emphasized that Ukraine expects the promises regarding support packages for the protection of Ukrainians, agreed upon during the NATO meeting, to be fulfilled. “We must move as quickly as possible on the agreements regarding licenses for ‘petriots,’ as well as the joint European anti-ballistic missile project,” the president added.

As Pryamyi previously reported, Russia launched ballistic missile attacks on Kyiv on the night of July 11. Currently, Ukrainian air defenses are unable to intercept ballistic missiles due to a shortage of Patriot missiles, which are capable of intercepting enemy ballistic missiles. Following the recent NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey, it was announced that Ukraine will receive a license from the United States to produce Patriot missiles.

According to President Volodymyr Zelensky, Ukraine has agreed on a new batch of Patriot missiles.
