All Patriot air defence systems in Ukraine are operational, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in his evening address.
"No matter who in Russia says that our Patriots have been destroyed, they are all there, they are all working, they are all shooting down Russian missiles. And they do it as efficiently as possible. Not a single Patriot has been destroyed!" he said.
Zelenskyy added that the only thing that should concern the terrorist state now is how to prepare their society, Russian society, for the fact that they will lose everything for which they are destroying the future of their state.
"Russia will lose the occupied territories. there is no alternative to our steps on de-occupation," the president said.
According to Zelenskyy, next week there will be new important contacts with partners concerning Ukraine's counteroffensive and weapons required.
Reacting to President Vladimir Putin's statement about the alleged destruction of five Patriot systems in Ukraine by the Russian army, the Ukrainian Air Force suggested that Russia has no idea what a Patriot is and what it consists of.
