The chief of staff of the President of Ukraine, Andriy Yermak, said that Russian forces attacked Kyiv with kamikaze drones.
"The Russians think it will help them, but such actions are like agony. We need more air defense systems as soon as possible. We don't have time for slow action. More weapons to protect the sky and destroy the enemy. That's how it will be," Yermak said.
Seven days ago, 19 people were killed and more than 100 were injured in air raids on Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities.
