A massive Russian attack on Ukraine lasted more than 12 hours. Brutal attacks, a deliberate, targeted terror against ordinary cities – almost 500 attack drones and over 40 missiles, including Kinzhal missiles. This morning, Russian-Iranian “shaheeds” are again in our airspace.
The main targets of enemy attacks were Kyiv and the region, Zaporizhzhia, Khmelnytskyi, Sumy, Mykolaiv, Chernihiv and Odessa regions. In the capital, the building of the Cardiology Institute was damaged. So far, four people have been reported killed in Kyiv, including a 12-year-old girl. My condolences to all families and loved ones. Across Ukraine, at least 40 people are known to have been injured, including children.
A bread production plant, a tire factory, private homes and apartment buildings, and other civilian infrastructure were damaged by the attacks. All necessary services have been deployed on the ground.
This despicable attack came practically at the end of the UN General Assembly week, and that is exactly how Russia declares its true position. Moscow wants to keep fighting and killing, and it deserves the harshest pressure from the world. The Kremlin benefits from continuing this war and terror as long as it earns energy revenues and operates a shadow navy. We will continue to strike back to deprive Russia of these revenue streams and force it to diplomacy. All who want peace must support President Trump’s efforts and stop all Russian imports. The time for decisive action is long past, and we expect a strong response from the US, Europe, the G7 and the G20.
