After the bombing that occurred in Kharkiv, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky asked Ukraine's partner countries to strengthen air defenses. “Ukraine’s modern air defense systems — such as Patriot missiles, the rapid training of our pilots on F-16s, and most importantly, the sufficient range of our weapons — are truly essential,” Zelensky said in a video.
In the Ukrainian capital, Kiev, two people were injured by falling debris when two Russian missiles were shot down over the area on Saturday night, according to Ukrainian Air Force Commander Mykola Oleschuk. In Donetsk, a region partly occupied by Russia, regional governor Vadim Velashkin said Russian strikes on Saturday killed two people and wounded four.
