"A rescue operation is currently underway in Kyiv at the site of a Russian drone strike on a residential nine-story building – an entire entrance of the building has been destroyed. Dozens of people have been rescued. Unfortunately, one person died. My condolences to the family and loved ones. There may still be people under the rubble," Zelenskyy stated on social media.
Overnight, according to him, the Russians launched more than 670 strike drones and 56 missiles at Ukraine. "There were strikes with ballistics, aeroballistics, and cruise missiles. The main target of this strike was Kyiv. There is damage at 20 locations in the city. These are ordinary residential buildings, a school, a veterinary clinic, and other purely civilian infrastructure. There is also destruction in the Kyiv region, and there were similar terrorist strikes on the energy sector in Kremenchuk, and on port and residential buildings in Chornomorsk," the President reported.
In total, since the beginning of yesterday, the Russians have used more than 1,560 drones against our cities and communities. These are certainly not the actions of those who believe the war is coming to an end. It is important that partners do not remain silent about this strike. And it is equally important to continue supporting the defense of our skies. The PURL program is needed so that Ukraine can defend itself against such ballistic strikes. And it is also in the interest of everyone who seeks peace to continue the pressure on Russia. I thank everyone who stands with Ukraine,"
