The terrorist state also had 470 supersonic Oniks anti-ship missiles and 43 hypersonic Kinzhal missiles.

The Defense Minister of Ukraine ironically described the main troubles of russia with its missiles: "Four enemies of the Russian missile arsenal: brilliant Ukrainian air defense forces, incompetent Russian rocket forces, sanctions, time”.
He also called on to demilitarize russia to solve the main problem of the Europe and the Humanity at all. “Let's demilitarize the terrorist state in order to live in peace," Oleksii Reznikov called on.
It should be noted that since October 10, Russian troops have been carrying out massive attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure. Invaders launch missiles and Iranian drones at power generation facilities and the electricity transmission system.
In particular, at least 83 missiles and 17 kamikaze drones were sent from Russia, Belarus, Caspian Sea and temporarily occupied Crimea, killing 11 and injuring 64 people. According to the preliminary data, 45 missiles were intercepted and 9 Iran-supplied kamikaze drones were destroyed by Air Defense Forces.
Critical civilian infrastructure of many cities of Ukraine (Kyiv, Zaporizhzhia, Dnipro, Zhytomyr, Khmelnytskyi, Ternopil, Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk, Kropyvnytskyi, Kremenchuk, Sumy, Kharkiv and others) and public spaces were targeted. Residential areas were left without energy and water.
It should be noted, that russia’s attacks on the eve of the heating season are directed at intimidating civilian population, wreaking havoc and undermining Ukraine’s resolve to liberate its territories temporarily occupied by Russia.
With his missile attacks Putin is a terrorist. Ukraine’s decision not to hold any negotiations with him proved to be correct: no talks are conducted with terrorists. With such barbaric actions Russia believes that it causes fear and desire to be negotiated with. But it causes exactly the opposite. It once again proves that Russia’s true intentions exclude dialogue. Any appeasement of the aggressor opens a real Pandora's box that will bring even more deaths and destruction. The World has learned that appeasement of aggression in one region inevitably breeds further aggression elsewhere.
Russia’s attacks will not achieve its objectives: Ukrainians will repair all damaged and destroyed objects and continue fighting against invaders. These shellings will only further isolate the Kremlin and accelerate its defeat.
Ukraineexpect the world to respond properly to Russia’s terrorist acts: an unprecedented set of actions must be taken so that Russia is completely overwhelmed: Ukraine calls for Russia’s full economic and political isolation including cultural and information spaces.
