Zelenskyy addressed the defenders of the sky

Today is the Day of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. A day of our gratitude to each and every one who repels Russian attacks, destroys enemy planes, missiles and drones. Strikes the front from the air. To everyone who fights against Russian terror every day and night.

Against this background, the head of state expressed gratitude to all pilots, engineers, technicians, anti-aircraft gunners, everyone who trains, and everyone who helps — Ukrainian heroes who show results in the defense of Ukraine.

Eternal honor and memory to all our soldiers who did not return from missions and died defending their lives. Glory to our Air Force! Glory to Ukraine! — Volodymyr Zelenskyy concluded.
