Details: The President said that over 100 private houses were destroyed or damaged, as well as 45 apartment buildings, schools, two churches, hospitals, a maternity hospital, and many retail and warehouse premises.

He pointed out that the air defence forces had accomplished a great deal considering that the Russian terrorists had deliberately attempted to get around Ukrainian protection. Zelenskyy gave his word that his team would keep working to improve defences. 

Quote: "It is crucial for the world to react to this latest act of terror. Many leaders today have already declared their support for Ukraine and Ukrainians, and I am grateful to each one. Especially to those who have assisted our country with air defence."

Details: The President also thanked emergency workers, police, and all those involved in supporting people.

Quote: "We will respond to Russian terrorists for every strike. Terror never gains in playing against people. Over 600 rescue workers are involved in providing assistance and clearing debris, along with a lot of equipment. The work will continue around the clock."
