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."
