Quote: "Just the day before Kharkiv was brutally hit by Russian Shahed drones, one of which even damaged a hospital facility, ordinary residential buildings, and ordinary civilian infrastructure.
In total, as a result of that strike on Kharkiv alone, 55 people were injured, including five children; all of them received assistance. Tragically, two people lost their lives."
Details: Zelenskyy noted that Russian attacks and strikes had also been recorded on Sunday 30 March.
Quote: "Cherkasy region – attacked by drones. Kherson region – artillery and drone-dropped explosives on ordinary buildings and civilians. Donetsk region – guided aerial bombs, drones, artillery. Zaporizhzhia – drones. Dnipropetrovsk region – guided bombs and drones. Sumy region – sadly, bombs and drones again. Kharkiv region – guided aerial bomb strikes.
The geography and brutality of Russian strikes, not just occasionally, but literally every day and night, show that Putin couldn't care less about diplomacy."
