Russia attacked Ukraine during Trump's visit to China to spoil the political background – Zelenskyy
Kyiv • UNN
The Russian Federation attacked Ukraine with 800 drones during Trump's visit to China. As a result of the strikes on the regions, six people were killed and dozens were injured.
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that one of the longest mass attacks by the Russian Federation against Ukraine took place specifically during U.S. President Donald Trump's visit to China. According to the head of state, Moscow is trying to draw attention to itself through terror and attacks on Ukrainian cities, UNN reports.
It certainly cannot be called a coincidence that one of the longest mass Russian attacks against Ukraine occurred exactly at the time when the President of the United States arrived for a visit to China – a visit from which much is expected. At this difficult geopolitical moment, Russia is clearly trying to spoil the general political background and draw attention to its evil – trying to do so at the expense of Ukrainian lives and Ukrainian infrastructure
The President reported that throughout the day, Russia launched waves of "Shaheds" at Ukrainian regions, including those near the borders of NATO countries.
All day today, the Russians have been launching waves of "Shaheds" against our regions, and specifically targeting regions closest to the borders of NATO countries. There have already been strikes in Zakarpattia, Lviv, Volyn, as well as in Frankivsk and the Rivne region

According to him, strikes were also recorded in Vinnytsia, Chernivtsi, Khmelnytskyi, Dnipro, Kirovohrad, Zaporizhzhia, Zhytomyr, Kyiv, Mykolaiv, Odesa, Sumy, Cherkasy, Kharkiv, and Kherson regions.
As of now, dozens of wounded are known, and there are children among them. Unfortunately, six people have died. My condolences to the families and loved ones
The President also reported that since the beginning of the day, Russia has used at least 800 drones, and the attack is ongoing.
According to our intelligence, after all the waves of drones, missile launches against Ukraine are also quite possible. Our warriors are defending Ukraine, but Russia's obvious goal is to overload air defense and cause as much grief and pain as possible during these specific days

Zelenskyy called on international partners to increase pressure on Russia.
It is important that the world does not remain silent about this. It is important that true Russian intentions are obvious to leaders and countries. It is important to put real pressure on the Russian aggressor so that this terror stops
