President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy reacted to the Russian strike on Kharkiv on August 30, where a guided aerial bomb hit a high-rise building. He called on partners to allow strikes on Russian airfields. According to the president, this strike on Kharkiv would not have happened today if the Defense Forces had the ability to destroy Russian military aircraft where they were based.
