Ukraine needs more Patriot interceptor missiles to counter Russia's ballistic attacks, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says in an appeal featured alongside footage of damage from an overnight strike on Kharkiv.

Ukraine's Channel 24 (24 Канал) presents the warning in its October 28 morning bulletin, hosted by Andriy Drozda. Zelenskyy says Russia fired more than 100 ballistic missiles at Kyiv and the surrounding region over two weeks, putting pressure on Ukraine's interceptor supplies.

In Kharkiv's Osnovianskyi district, footage shows the aftermath of a strike that the broadcaster reports injured five people, including a child, and caused a large fire. An air force graphic says Ukrainian defenses destroyed or suppressed 71 drones during the overnight attack, including jet-powered aircraft.

The bulletin also reports drone strikes on the Azot chemical plant in Novomoskovsk, in Russia's Tula region, and a steelworks in Lipetsk. Drozda discusses the facilities' strategic importance and displays a statement from the Tula governor about efforts to repel the attack.

On the battlefield, Zelenskyy's recorded address credits the Khartiia corps' Operation Veles with strengthening Ukrainian positions. He says Ukrainian troops successfully turned underground routes against Russian forces, adapting a tactic previously used by their opponents. His broader assessment is that Ukraine's frontline position is its strongest in a long time; the broadcast then examines a fortification map by French analyst Clément Molin.

A separate segment concerns a humanitarian ceasefire around Russian-occupied Oleshky, near Kherson. The program displays US first lady Melania Trump's announcement that the ceasefire began on October 27 and cites Ukrainian ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets as saying it was still holding that evening.

Diplomacy occupies much of the second half. Archival footage carries President Donald Trump's prediction of a meeting between Zelenskyy and Vladimir Putin soon. Guest Yuriy Romaniuk, head of the civic organization Ukraine in NATO, speculates about possible venues, favoring Finland. No agreed summit date is established in the broadcast.

Drozda and Romaniuk also discuss possible technical-level negotiations in Abu Dhabi, European participation and Moscow's interest in sanctions relief. Their closing analysis considers whether approaching US congressional elections could affect Washington's willingness to make concessions. The program ends with Drozda announcing Ukraine's national minute of silence.
