At night, Russia launched 210 strike drones against Ukraine, about 140 of which were Shaheds.
This was reported by President Volodymyr Zelensky.
“Russia continues to attack our energy sector, critical infrastructure, and civilian facilities. Over the course of the night, there were 210 strike drones, around 140 of them “shaheds” ,” he wrote.
Zelensky noted that this night Russian forces again targeted ordinary apartment buildings in Odessa. According to him, five people are known to have been injured so far, and fires broke out in two buildings.
“In Kryvyi Rih, one person was also injured as a result of a drone strike. In the Kharkiv region, railway infrastructure was attacked, including traction substations. There was damage and railcars caught fire. Thousands of families were left without electricity due to shelling. Strikes were also carried out against the Sumy region and the Zaporizhzhia region,” he said.
The President stressed that daily strikes show the need for greater pressure on Russia.
“The aggressor must be weakened to ensure greater security for Europe. Sanctions policy must continue, along with the synchronization of all our sanctions with those of our partners. Our long-range sanctions are bringing the Russians back to reality. This is entirely justified and, most importantly, limits the Russian Federation’s ability to prolong this war. If Russia does not want to move to diplomacy voluntarily, it must be forced to do so. And I am grateful to everyone who is helping us achieve this,” he said.
