Details: In addition, overnight damage was recorded in Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhia, Vinnytsia, Odesa, Poltava, Sumy and Cherkasy oblasts, Zelenskyy added.

Quote: "There must be a response from partners to these savage strikes against life. I thank everyone who will not remain silent. Russia has not abandoned its attempts to destroy Ukraine's residential and critical infrastructure, and therefore support must continue.

The PURL initiative must continue to operate just as actively. We count on active work with the European Union to guarantee greater protection for our people."

[PURL (Prioritised Ukraine Requirements List) is an initiative through which US-produced weapons are purchased for Ukraine through partners' contributions - ed.]

Background: On the night of 6-7 March, Russian forces struck a high-rise residential building in Kharkiv with a ballistic missile. Seven people were killed and at least ten others injured.
