“Russian terrorists take advantage of the fact that Ukraine still lacks sufficient anti-aircraft defense and a reliable ability to destroy terrorist launchers exactly where they are located - near our borders. And this weakness is not our weakness, but the world's, which for the third year does not dare to treat the terrorists exactly as they deserve it,” wrote the Kharkiv region Governor Oleh Syniehubov on his official media accounts.
