«The air defense is running out, if the Russians continue to hit Ukraine every day as they have done for the last month, we could run out of missiles, and our partners know it» .

Volodymyr Zelensky said this on national TV last night, issuing the most dramatic warning after weeks of incessant attacks by the Kremlin army.

The Ukrainian president added that it is necessary to mobilize 300 thousand people by June 1st, but he is not sure that it will be possible to do so.

“President Erdogan wants to mediate, but Turkey alone is not enough as a mediator,” added the Kiev leader.

The plight of the Ukrainian resistance was also denounced by Kiev Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba . “Ukrainian soldiers are being attacked massively and I would say even routinely by guided aerial bombs that wipe out our positions,” Kuleba told the Financial Times.

Russian forces have launched around 3,500 guided aerial bombs against the country since the beginning of the year, a 16-fold increase compared to the whole of 2023, according to defense officials in Kiev.
