Details: The president said that the main targets of the Russian attack were Kyiv and Kyiv Oblast, as well as Zaporizhzhia, Khmelnytskyi, Sumy and Odesa oblasts.

As of now, four people are known to have been killed in Kyiv, including a 12-year-old girl, while across Ukraine at least 40 people have been injured, children among them.

Quote: "A bread-production facility, a tyre manufacturing plant, private homes and apartment buildings, and other civilian infrastructure were damaged by the strikes. All necessary services are deployed on the ground.

This vile attack came virtually as the close of UN General Assembly week, and this is exactly how Russia declares its true position. Moscow wants to keep fighting and killing, and it deserves the toughest pressure from the world. The Kremlin benefits from continuing this war and terror as long as it earns revenue from energy and operates a shadow fleet. We will continue to strike back to deprive Russia of those revenue streams and to compel it towards diplomacy. Everyone who wants peace must back President Trump’s efforts and halt any Russian imports. The time for decisive action is long overdue, and we count on a strong response from the United States, Europe, the G7 and the G20."
