Direct speech: “Over the past five days, Russia has launched more than 450 missiles and drones into Ukraine.
Putin killed and wounded civilians, temporarily deprived thousands of people of light and warmth, tried to break the will of the nation – but he only strengthened the resolve of Ukrainians to defend their freedom, and us to support Ukraine in its existential struggle, which matters for the security of Europe and beyond.”
