It is especially important that the sanctions are painfully hit by Russian energy trading, throughout the infrastructure of the Russian Tanker Fleet - President
In Kiev, the affected object is the Strazheska Institute is a Cardiology Institute, one of the leading medical institutions of our country and our whole region in Europe. There are two dead, significant damage to one of the buildings. The recovery should be as faster and the government should help with it. And in general, only in Kiev is damaged by thirty -two locations.
The Russian blow to Zaporozhye was extremely cruel - fortunately, without the dead, but only there, in Zaporozhye, almost 40 people were injured this night. Everyone is provided with the necessary help. I want to thank everyone who is involved in rescue operations. Thank you all, to our employees of the SES of Ukraine, "extras", doctors, nurses, police officers, thank you to the utilities.
There were also Russian blows to energy facilities, and this is, unfortunately, traditional such Russian tactics - Russia is trying to hit Ukraine with a blackberry this year. In fact, during these weeks, when the UN General Assembly lasted, Russia was used literally every day, every hour used for blows in Ukraine. Very blowing. And this is what characterizes Russia - what they do, not what they say or start different signals around the world.
They have rejected all the real proposals of peace and deserve really tough pressure. We expect European decisions on such pressure for the week-at least a new package of sanctions should be, the 19th package. It is especially important that sanctions are painfully hit by Russian energy trading, throughout the infrastructure of the tanker fleet of Russia.
Moreover, there is now information from intelligence that the Russians use tankers to launch and manage drones that launch against European countries. This is another evidence that the Baltic Sea and other seas should be closed to Russian tankers, at least for the shadow fleet. We also count on the strong steps of the United States of America. We spoke with President Trump that he could really push Russia to change position and stop war. The world has tools that really work.
He spoke with Finnish President today - thanked him for his support. We coordinated contacts with our partners and in particular with America. It is important that we are gradually moving to the safety guarantees. Those things that can also help this war and restrain Russia from any other aggression. He also spoke with the Prime Minister of Norway. And about today's Russian strike: there were more than five hundred drones, of which Shahanedov - about 350, 48 rockets, including two aerobalistic ones.
That is why air defense for Ukraine is invariably the first priority. Thank you to partners who help. Norway is among them, it is one of our strongest partners. Thank you, Jonas! He spoke today with Mark Rutte - NATO Secretary General, among other things about our Purl program: the program works, very actively, it is the program that allows us to buy American weapons at the expense of partners in the Alliance. And these are things like Petriots missiles, Himars missiles.
Already in Purl there are six states that have provided funds: the Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Germany, Canada. Six more countries have declared their readiness to join: Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Luxembourg, Belgium, Iceland. Thank you all! This is what really helps. We will work with our European friends in the week to implement as soon as possible to implement the Air Defense arrangements. Russia will be responsible for everything that he does.
