President  @ZelenskyyUa:
Another night proving that Russia does not feel enough pressure for dragging out the war. Our air defense forces, mobile fire groups, and drone interceptor crews were working all night and into the morning. Ordinary cities have been under fire, primarily our energy infrastructure, but many residential buildings have also been hit. There were fires in Zaporizhzhia and hits on homes in Kyiv. The Kyiv, Odesa, Chernihiv, Dnipro, Kirovohrad, Poltava, Vinnytsia, Zaporizhzhia, Cherkasy and Sumy regions were under attack. As of now, 17 people are known to have been injured. Unfortunately, 6 people were killed, among them 2 children. My condolences to their families and loved ones.

Russian words about diplomacy mean nothing as long as the Russian leadership does not feel critical problems. And this can be ensured only through sanctions, long-range capabilities, and coordinated diplomacy among all our partners. It is high time the European Union adopted a strong sanctions package. We also count on strong sanctions measures from the United States and the G7, from all those who seek peace. It is very important that the world does not remain silent now and that there is a united response to Russia’s vile strikes.

Everyone who is now helping Ukraine with air defense systems and missiles for them is protecting lives. We are grateful for that. And everyone who helps Ukraine with long-range capabilities will bring the end of the war closer.
