Zelensky explains why there is no point in fearing Russian air attacks

The statements about possible massive air attacks by the Russians are just a part of the Kremlin's information pressure. This is how Moscow intends to intimidate Ukrainians, the head of state said during a joint press conference with Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte in Kiev.

He also pointed out that Russians often just lie, taking lies as a tool to fight the enemy.

Therefore, count on yourself and treat these statements as just another psychological attack by the Russian Federation," the Ukrainian president said.

He recalled that Russia was already launching air attacks on the battlefield as well as missile strikes. At the same time, the president pointed out that the level of the Ukrainian air defence system was growing and the number of downed targets was increasing.

You can see the percentage that we shoot down. We roughly understand that sometimes worse - 50-60%, sometimes better - we get up to 80-85% - Zelenskyy said.

Zelenskyy said that even if Russia decides to launch a massive air attack, Ukrainian air defence systems would work just as well.

Believe in our forces. We managed to pass the most difficult stage in our lives, I am sure, when we did not have so many partners - on the 24th. (...) So do not believe the propagandists, believe in what is on the battlefield," urged the head of state.
