- During the last night (January 13), the enemy attacked Ukraine with 25 missiles and 293 strike UAVs.
- From December 2025 to January 2026, six massive strikes on Ukraine’s territory have already been recorded.
- Total since the beginning of the invasion: Russia has used more than 13.3 thousand missiles and over 142.3 thousand strike drones.

Oleksandr Syrskyi emphasized that the Armed Forces’ top priority is receiving additional air defense missile systems and ammunition. The U.S. side was also informed of other army requests within the PURL initiative.
“Achieving a sustainable ceasefire is possible only under the condition of increased consolidated pressure on the enemy from our Western partners”, — General Oleksandr Syrskyi emphasized.
