Russia struck another brutal blow at our Kharkiv - at a construction hypermarket - on Saturday, right in the middle of the day. As of now, we know that more than 200 people could have been inside the hypermarket. All services are already on the scene to help rescue people and extinguish the fire, which has completely engulfed the 10,000 sq m building. We know about the dead and injured.

If Ukraine had enough air defence systems and modern combat aircraft, such Russian strikes would have been impossible. And that is why we are appealing to all leaders, to all states: we need a significant strengthening of our air defence and sufficient capabilities to destroy Russian terrorists. This is a task that must be accomplished and can only be done together with the world. Every day we call on the world: give us air defence, save people. Every decision not to support us means the loss of our people.
