This shows that Ukraine is capable of winning significant victories on the battlefield, the head of state said.
In February, the Ukrainian military destroyed 13 Russian military aircraft. About that reported President Vladimir Zelensky on social network X on Thursday, February 29.
“Ten Su-34s, two Su-35s and one A-50 will no longer drop bombs on the Ukrainian military and civilians, and will no longer coordinate massive missile attacks on Ukrainian cities and communities. I are grateful and proud of our soldiers who achieved such results”, said the head of state.
According to him, this victory not only weakens Russia’s ability to cause more suffering and destruction to Ukraine and its people, but also shows that Ukraine is capable of achieving significant victories on the battlefield. .
“Despite its limited capabilities and lack of air superiority, Ukraine managed to make February 2024 a disastrous month for Russian combat aviation. Imagine what Ukraine could achieve with adequate, timely and uninterrupted military assistance,” said Zelensky.
The President called on partners to speed up the adoption of all decisions to further strengthen Ukraine’s air defense and air capabilities.
“Together we must defeat Russia in the air over Ukraine this year. We can definitely do it if we have the necessary means,” Zelensky concluded.
We remind you that today fighters of the Ukrainian Armed Forces shot down three Russian Su-34 fighters in the east. On February 23, the Ukrainian military shot down a Russian A-50 aircraft.
