Zelenskiy: 15 Out of 18 Russian Missiles Shot Down in Ukraine

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Monday issued his condolences to the victims killed in the latest Russian strikes on the country.

Russia launched its second large salvo of missiles at Ukraine in recent days early on Monday, damaging buildings and wounding at least 34 people in the eastern city of Pavlohrad but failed to hit Kyiv, officials said.

Air raid sirens began blaring across the capital at about 3:45am, followed by explosions as Ukrainian defence systems intercepted missiles.

Speaking in his evening address, Zelenskyy said Ukrainian air defences shot down 15 missiles, however, he acknowledged they were not able to intercept all the strikes.

"Not all of them yet," he said, adding: "We are working with our partners as actively as possible to make the protection of our skies even more reliable."

It is good to hear President Zelenskyy speak about the problems of his country, Ukraine...but pre, -1917 Kiev was a Russian city. Why does he ignore history?
