“Time for decisive action”: Zelensky implores allies after massive Russian attack on Ukraine – this is how it happened | Ukraine

• Russia has fired about 200 missiles and drones at Ukraine.

• Five people were killed and the energy infrastructure was damaged.

• The Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelenskydescribed Russia's actions as “one of the largest attacks – a combined strike involving over a hundred missiles of various types and around a hundred 'Shaheds'.”

• Zelensky also appealed to Kyiv's partners to provide him with more help. “Throughout Ukraine, we could do much more to protect lives if the air forces of our European neighbors operated in harmony with our F-16 fighter jets and air defense systems,” he said.

• The Ukrainian president also said that his country “cannot be limited in its long-range capabilities if there are no such restrictions on the terrorists.”

• The Ukrainian Energy Minister German Galushchenkodescribed the current situation as challenging.

• Poland said a drone was believed to have entered its airspace during Russia's early morning bombardment of Ukraine.

• Commenting on Ukraine's invasion of the Kursk region, the Kremlin stated that such hostile actions should not go unanswered.

Russia said it had attacked Western weapons and ammunition at two Ukrainian airfields, as well as gas compressor stations and electrical substations.

The Russian Defense Ministry said the energy facilities attacked with drones and missiles supplied electricity to Ukraine's military-industrial complex.

An object that entered Polish airspace during the Russian attack on Ukraine on Monday was most likely a drone, the spokesman for the Polish Army's operational command said. The search for the object is underway.

“During the massive attack on Ukrainian territory on Monday, an object probably flew into Polish territory,” General Maciej Klisz, the operational commander of the armed forces, was quoted as saying by Polsat News.

“The object was confirmed by radio tracking from at least three radar stations. I had full control of the object and was ready to shoot it down.”

Poland, a NATO ally, has a long border with Ukraine and strongly supports Kyiv in the fight against invading Russian forces.
