Ukraine Lacks Defensive Missiles, Says Volodymyr Zelenskyy | Dawn News English

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has attributed his military's inability to prevent a Russian strike on a crucial power plant near Kyiv to the lack of air defense missiles. The recent Russian missile attack resulted in the destruction of the largest power plant in the region surrounding the capital.

Zelensky's remarks underscore the repeated warnings issued by his government to allies regarding the limited availability of air defenses. His statement reflects the dire circumstances facing Kyiv as Russia escalates its attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure.

The Trypilska thermal power plant, destroyed in the March 11 strike, was the largest energy facility near Kyiv, boasting a capacity of 1,800 megawatts. Russia has intensified its combined missile and drone assaults targeting Ukraine's grid system since mid-March.
