Since night, our emergency services have been working at the sites of Russian strikes. A vile shelling. As of now, dozens of people are known to be injured, including children and a pregnant woman. Unfortunately, four people have died. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Approximately 430 drones and 18 missiles were used in the attack, including ballistic and aeroballistic missiles.
He also noted that it was a specially calculated attack to inflict as much damage as possible on people and civilian infrastructure. In Kyiv alone, there is destruction in dozens of high-rise buildings. The Azerbaijani Embassy was damaged by fragments of an "Iskander" missile. The main direction of the attack was Kyiv; they also struck the Kyiv, Kharkiv, and Odesa regions.
According to preliminary data, in the morning, the Russians used a "Zircon" missile in the Sumy region. Minister of Internal Affairs Ihor Klymenko has already reported on the progress of rescue operations at the sites. I thank everyone who helps our people. Air Force Commander Anatoliy Kryvonozhko also reported on the results of air defense operations. I thank our soldiers for their excellent work.
"Ukraine responds to these strikes with long-range power, and the world must stop these attacks against life with sanctions. Russia can still sell oil and build its schemes. All this must be stopped. A lot of work is being done with partners to strengthen air defense, but it is not enough. Strengthening with additional systems and interceptor missiles is needed. Europe and the USA can help. We count on real solutions. Thank you to everyone who helps," Zelenskyy added.
