Zelenskyy: Winter is coming.

Russia will keep striking our energy system — Ukraine can’t face it alone.

2 Patriot systems are coming this fall.

Last night, 80% of enemy drones and missiles were shot down. [but unfortunately it isn’t enough]

1/
Zelenskyy: When Russia fails on the battlefield, it turns to terror — destroying power plants, water systems, and critical infrastructure.

We warned our partners: when Moscow can’t win militarily, it targets civilians and energy.

That’s what’s happening now.
2/
Zelenskyy: Ukraine defends not just itself — we hold the front line for Europe. Every intercepted missile protects lives beyond our borders.

Partners: act more, speak less. Words don’t stop drones;

Patriots, interceptors and real cooperation do. 3/
