More than 50 missiles and about 500 strike drones

Tonight, Ukraine was once again subjected to a combined Russian attack – more than 50 missiles and about 500 strike drones. They struck with cruise missiles, “Shaheds,” and including “Kinzhals.” Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk, Zaporizhzhia, Chernihiv, Sumy, Kharkiv, Kherson, Odesa, and Kirovohrad regions were under attack. As of now, it is known that about 10 people were injured due to the attack. Unfortunately, five people were killed. Sincere condolences to all who have lost their loved ones due to this terror.

Right now, in the places where it is needed, rescue and restoration works are ongoing. I am constantly receiving reports from the Minister of Internal Affairs Ihor Klymenko and the Minister of Communities and Territories Development Oleksiy Kuleba, heads of regional military administrations, and the head of “Naftogaz” Serhiy Koretskyi. I expect the most prompt and high-quality work from government officials in eliminating the consequences in the affected regions.

Today, the Russians once again struck our infrastructure, everything that ensures normal life for people. More protection is needed, faster implementation of all defense agreements, especially regarding air defense, to deprive this air terror of meaning. A unilateral ceasefire in the sky is possible, and it is precisely that which can open the way to genuine diplomacy. America and Europe must act to force Putin to stop.
