Quote: "Throughout the entire day today, the Russians have been launching waves of Shaheds against our regions – and, in particular, deliberately targeting regions closest to the borders of NATO countries. Hits have already been recorded in Zakarpattia, Lviv region, Volyn, as well as in Ivano-Frankivsk and Rivne regions.

Unfortunately, there are also hits in many of our other regions – Vinnytsia, Chernivtsi, Khmelnytskyi, Dnipro, Kirovohrad, Zaporizhzhia, Zhytomyr, Kyiv, Mykolaiv, Odesa, Sumy, Cherkasy, Kharkiv, and Kherson regions.

As of now, dozens of people are reported injured, including children. Sadly, six people have been killed. My condolences to their families and loved ones.

Since midnight, at least 800 Russian drones have already been launched, and the attack is ongoing, with additional drones entering our country's airspace."

Details: Zelenskyy said that, as reported by Defence Intelligence of Ukraine, Russia may also launch missiles after all the waves of drones.

He said the attack can not be seen as a coincidence at a difficult geopolitical moment amidst US President Donald Trump's visit to China.

Quote: "It is important that Russia's true intentions are made clear to leaders and countries. It is important to apply real pressure on the Russian aggressor so that this terror is brought to an end."
