Quote: "In many of our regions, emergency and rescue operations are still underway after last night's Russian attack. It was a complex, combined strike: the enemy used more than 650 drones and over fifty missiles of various types, including ballistic and aeroballistic ones. Many were shot down, but unfortunately, there have been hits.

Ordinary residential buildings in Zaporizhzhia have been damaged, and there has been destruction at a dormitory. Tens of people have been reported injured in this strike, including five children. Tragically, two people have been killed. My condolences to their family and loved ones. Rescue operations continue."

Details: Zelenskyy said that Russia struck energy facilities and civilian infrastructure in Vinnytsia, Kyiv, Mykolaiv, Cherkasy, Poltava, Dnipropetrovsk, Chernihiv, Sumy, Ivano-Frankivsk and Lviv oblasts.

All the relevant services are now working to restore power and water supply as quickly as possible everywhere it has been disrupted.

Zelenskyy has reminded international partners of the need for new pressure measures on Russia's oil, gas and financial sectors as well as for secondary sanctions against those who bankroll the war.
