“All details about the bullet are still being studied. However, it is already known that it is a ballistic missile from North Korea. Lack of pressure on Russia allows them to import such bullets and a different weapon and use them here in Europe. Lack of pressure on North Korea and its allies allows them to produce such ballistic rockets. The bullet that killed the inhabitants of Kiev had at least 116 components imported from other countries, And most of them were unfortunately produced by American companies, “wrote Zelanski in a telegram.

According to him, “in today's world, every war can quickly involve many different actors, and every country that falls victim to aggression always defends itself not against one entity, but against a group of partners.”

“That is why it is important that the defense is based on joint efforts. Ukraine is grateful to everyone in the world who help protect the life of our citizens, provide us with air defense systems and missiles.

As a result of a rocket attack on Kiev, 12 civilians were killed on Thursday, including children, and 90 were injured. At least 44 people have been hospitalized, over 30 remain in the hospital.
