Ukraine, Zelensky “New Russian attack with 470 drones and 40 missiles, the budget is 9 dead”

ROMA (ITALPRESS) – “In many of our regions, we are working to deal with the consequences of the Russian attack. It is confirmed that Russia launched more than 470 drones and 48 missiles of various kinds against Ukraine at night: a ballistic and the rest cruise missiles. In Ternopil, nine-storey residential buildings were hit, causing fires. Unfortunately, destruction is significant and there may be people trapped under the rubble. All necessary emergency services are on site, trying to save every life. To date, dozens of people were injured and, unfortunately, 9 people were killed. My condolences to their families. There was also a massive attack, already begun in the evening, against our Kharkiv. Tens of people were injured in the city, including children. Energy, transport and civil infrastructure have been damaged. Our energy infrastructure in the Ivano-Frankivsk region has also been attacked. Three people were injured, including two children. In the region of Lviv, critical infrastructure and energy plants were targeted. A person was injured in the Donetsk region. The regions of Kiev, Mykolaiv, Cerkasy, Cernihiv and Dnipro were also attacked.” The Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky writes on X.

“Every attack against everyday life shows that pressure on Russia is still insufficient. Effective sanctions and aid to Ukraine can change this situation. The top priority is air defense missiles, additional systems, expanded capabilities for our combat aviation and drone production to protect human lives. Russia must be held responsible for its actions and we must remain focused on everything that strengthens us and allows us to break down Russian missiles, neutralize Russian drones and stop attacks. Thanks to all those who are helping us all around the world,” Zelensky concluded.
