Quote: "A wicked attack – as of now, we know of dozens of wounded, including children and a pregnant woman. Sadly, four people have been killed."
Details: Zelenskyy noted that the Russians had launched around 430 drones and 18 missiles, some of which were ballistic and aeroballistic.
"This was a deliberately calculated attack aimed at causing maximum harm to people and civilian infrastructure. In Kyiv alone, dozens of apartment buildings have been damaged. The Azerbaijani Embassy was hit by debris from an Iskander missile," he said.
Zelenskyy stated that the Russians had targeted the city of Kyiv as well as Kyiv, Kharkiv and Odesa oblasts. They also struck Sumy Oblast with a Zircon hypersonic cruise missile.
"Ukraine is responding to these strikes with long-range strength, and the world must stop these attacks on life with sanctions. Russia is still able to sell oil and build its schemes. All of this must end," the president emphasised.
He added that "a great deal of work" is underway with partners to strengthen air defence.
"But it is not enough. We need reinforcement with additional systems and interceptor missiles. Europe and the United States can help. We are counting on real decisions. Thank you to everyone who helps," Zelenskyy concluded.
