Volodymyr Zelenskyy calls for more air defense missiles after Russian strike kills six members of the Voronov family
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned a Russian ballistic missile strike as a "horrific crime" after it destroyed a home in Radushne, killing at least six members of the Voronov family. The strike, which utilized a North Korean ballistic missile for the first time in recent months, leveled the house and left four more children from the family missing. Zelenskyy emphasized that the need for more Patriot interceptor missiles is not an abstraction but a direct result of the consequence of Russian strikes on ordinary families. During the mass attack, Russia launched over 70 missiles and 280 drones. The strike also caused damage in Lviv and Kyiv, while a Russian Kh-101 cruise missile violated Polish airspace and created a crater in eastern Poland. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk visited the site of the crater, noting that while investigations are ongoing, initial indications suggest it was a Russian missile. Zelenskyy urged the West to provide more air defense capabilities to stop the Russian war and protect lives.
