President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy reacted to the Russian night attack with over 200 drones, noting that Russia itself chose to end the partial silence that had lasted for several days, and that "we said we would act in a mirror-like manner," UNN reports.
Russia itself chose to end the partial silence that had lasted for several days. Over 200 strike drones were launched at Ukraine tonight. Guided aerial bombs were used at the front again – over 80, and more than 30 airstrikes were recorded
According to him, strike drones were shot down in the Dnipro, Zhytomyr, Mykolaiv, Sumy, Kharkiv, and Chernihiv regions, as well as in Kyiv and the Kyiv region. "There is damage to energy facilities, apartment buildings, a kindergarten, and there was a strike on an ordinary civilian locomotive on the railway... It is known that there are people wounded due to these strikes. Unfortunately, there are also fatalities. My condolences to the families and loved ones," the President stated.
We said that we would act in a mirror-like manner in response to all Russian steps. Russia must end this war, and it is Russia that must take the step toward a real, lasting ceasefire. Until this happens, sanctions against Moscow are necessary and must continue to work and be strengthened. It is important that there are no relaxations and that partners do not stand aside, but continue joint work for the sake of security, justice, and a reliable peace
