Quote: "Christmas Eve during the war. Our soldiers have shot down not only almost 30 Shahed drones and several missiles, but also two more Russian Su jets.
In just a week, the terrorists have had five aircraft less. This Christmas sets the right mood for the whole next year – the mood of our opportunities. Opportunities in negotiations with partners.
Opportunities in strengthening our air shield. Opportunities in defending our home from Russian terrorists.
The stronger our air defence is, the fewer Russian devils will be in our skies and on our land."
