Nine people were injured”, adding, “emergency rescue operations continue in Zaporizhzhia following yesterday’s attack, which has so far claimed eight lives and injured more than 40 people, including four children”.

Zelenskyy begged for “strength to respond collectively and decisively at the international level to reduce and block the potential for terror”.

He requested for “Air defense, long-range capabilities, weapons packages, and sanctions against the aggressor.”

According to President Zelenskyy: “All evening and night, terrorists attacked our cities and communities with missiles, drones, and guided aerial bombs, targeting the Odesa, Kharkiv, and Kyiv regions. In Kharkiv, as of now, more than 20 people have been reported injured, including an infant. Residential buildings and infrastructure were damaged.


In Odesa, strikes damaged ordinary homes. One person was killed. My condolences to the family and loved ones. Nine people were injured.


Emergency rescue operations continue in Zaporizhzhia following yesterday’s attack, which has so far claimed eight lives and injured more than 40 people, including four children.


Last night, our forces shot down four missiles and approximately 60 strike drones launched by Russia against Ukraine. I am grateful to our defenders of the sky who are doing everything possible to protect our people from this terror, and to everyone involved in rescue and assistance efforts.


Each time Russia attempts to destroy our lives, it is crucial to respond collectively and decisively at the international level to reduce and block the potential for terror. Ukraine needs strength to achieve this. This is the only way to achieve a just peace and to ending the killing of our people. Air defense, long-range capabilities, weapons packages, and sanctions against the aggressor—these are the actions required, not just words.”
