As a result of the strikes in Odesa region, ordinary houses were damaged. One person was killed. My condolences to the family and friends. Nine people were injured.
Emergency and rescue operations continue in Zaporizhzhia after yesterday's attack. As of now, this terror has claimed the lives of 8 people, and more than 40 people have been injured, including four children," Zelensky wrote on social media.
According to him, over the night, our soldiers destroyed four aircraft missiles and about 60 attack drones used by Russia against Ukraine. "I am grateful to our defenders of the sky who are doing everything possible to protect people from this terror, I am grateful to everyone who rescues and helps our people," the President noted.
"It is important to act jointly and decisively at the international level every time Russia tries to destroy our lives. We need to act to reduce the potential of terror, to block it. Ukraine needs the strength to do so. This is the only way to achieve a just peace and stop the deaths of our people. Air defense, long-range, weapons packages, sanctions against the aggressor - this is the answer that is needed not only in words but also in actions," Zelensky said.
