Ukrainian air defence forces have shot down more than two thousand enemy cruise and ballistic missiles since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion.
This was reported by the Ukrainian Defence Ministry in social network X.

According to the ministry, civilian infrastructure is most often the main target of Russian strikes.
