"Parts of Russian missiles and drones are currently being neutralized in Kyiv. Rescue operations are underway at the sites of hits and falling debris - everywhere where it is needed - and emergency services are working. There were many fires and explosions in the city at night. Residential buildings, cars, and enterprises were damaged again. Unfortunately, there are wounded," Zelenskyy wrote on social networks.
The President noted that it was "a difficult night for the whole of Ukraine: 250 attack drones, the absolute majority of which are Iranian "Shahheds", 14 ballistic missiles." "Odesa region, Vinnytsia region, Sumy region, Kharkiv region, Donetsk region, Kyiv region, Dnipropetrovsk region were affected. Everywhere - on civilians. There are dead. My condolences to family and friends," he said.
With each such shelling, the world is convinced that the reason for the dragging out of the war is in Moscow. Ukraine has repeatedly offered a ceasefire - both complete and in the sky. All this was ignored. It is obvious that Russia needs to be put under much more pressure in order to achieve a result and real diplomacy to begin. We are waiting for sanctions steps from the USA, Europe and all our partners. Only additional sanctions against key sectors of the Russian economy will force Moscow to cease fire.
