Zelensky: Air Defense Delays Aid Russian Terror After Kyiv Strike

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated on October 26 that artificial delays in air defense supplies help Russian terror, following a ballistic missile strike on Kyiv that hit a university campus and nearby residential areas. The attack targeted crowded civilian locations, including a park and metro station, with no military objects nearby. Zelensky reported casualties and wounded, noting people may be trapped under rubble, and warned of possible repeat strikes. Zelensky urged partners to swiftly implement political agreements and provide Ukraine with proper tools to destroy Russian ballistic missile launchers, calling this the most effective way to save lives. At least one person was killed and ten injured in the attack.
