Russia launched 85 missiles on the territory of Ukraine on Nov. 15, most of which were aimed at critical infrastructure facilities, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in a video address.

 “A total of 85 missiles were launched at Ukraine, at our cities, most of them at critical infrastructure,” he said.

“It’s clear what the enemy wants, but he won’t achieve what he wants.”

As he spoke, Zelenskyy noted that 20 missiles were still in the air, so he called on Ukrainians to stay in shelters.
