Zelensky says Russia exploited Ukraine’s interceptor shortage with 36 ballistic missiles
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russia launched 44 missiles at Ukraine over the past week, including 36 ballistic missiles, around 1,940 attack drones and more than 1,580 guided aerial bombs. Hundreds of thousands of families were left without electricity after a nighttime strike on energy facilities in four regions.
Russia launched 44 missiles of various types at Ukraine over the past week, including 36 ballistic missiles, as well as around 1,940 attack drones and more than 1,580 guided aerial bombs. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky gave these figures on November 1.
He said Moscow was seeking to take maximum advantage of Ukraine’s shortage of systems capable of intercepting ballistic missiles and had therefore intensified strikes on energy facilities and other critical infrastructure.
Strike on energy facilities in four regions
Energy facilities in the Dnipropetrovsk, Vinnytsia, Zhytomyr and Khmelnytskyi regions came under attack overnight on Sunday. Substations, transformers and power lines were damaged. Repair crews are working across all the regions, but Zelensky said hundreds of thousands of families remain without electricity. More than 600 settlements have been left without power in the Zhytomyr region alone.
“Deliveries cannot wait for years”
“Every day, we discuss with the United States, Europe and other partners who can help our need for Patriot missiles. This month, the United States and European countries adopted new decisions on new aid packages for Ukraine. But these deliveries cannot wait for years,” Zelensky said.
The Ukrainian side provided the figures on the number of strikes, which cannot be independently verified. Russian authorities did not comment on the figures.
