1. Europe needs its own anti-ballistic defence so that this war can finally be brought to an end. And assistance from the United States in supplying missiles for Patriot systems is absolutely necessary.
2. A large-scale attack and an explicit statement by Russia: If Ukraine is not protected from ballistic missiles and other missile strikes, those strikes will continue.
3. Our defenders are ready 24/7 to the fullest extent possible with the supplies currently available.
4. Intelligence warnings regarding Russian strikes remain in effect. A massive strike is possible, they have prepared one.
5. All that's needed is sufficient support for our defence and continued pressure on Russia.

1. Putin is a war criminal and loser who has no cards except terror. Moscow is losing on the battlefield. No number of missiles can change this.
Olena Dniprovska
1. Now I have nowhere to live, the apartment is completely destroyed, no doors, no windows, no balcony. You can step straight from the room out onto the street.
2. I ran out into the front door and started calling my husband from the room, but he was also blown out by the blast wave.
3. I went out into the corridor with the phone, and before I understood what happened, everything fell on my head, the glass, and the door blew off.
Iryna Salikova
1. Thank God we're alive. Today we're alive, today we're lucky.
2. Our window was broken. A cobblestone flew into the children's room.
