Volodymyr Zelensky has said Russia attacked Ukraine with more than 170 drones overnight, including over 100 Shahed drones.
He posted on X: “This massive attack targeted the Dnipro, Kyiv, Sumy, Kharkiv and Khmelnytskyi regions.
“All night in Dnipro, the aftermath of this attack was being dealt with. As of now, four people are confirmed dead. My condolences to their families and loved ones.”
The Ukrainian President said 21 people were injured, including a pregnant woman. Residential buildings, a hotel-restaurant complex, garages and a car repair shop were destroyed or damaged in Dnipro as well, according to Mr Zelensky.
He added: “Unfortunately, there was destruction in every region that came under attack… Russia mocks the world’s peace efforts – dragging out the war and committing these acts of terror because it still doesn’t feel real pressure.”
Mr Zelensky said diplomacy can work, but only when backed with actions which strengthen Ukraine‘s “warriors” and deprive the occupiers of the means to wage war.
He added: “Our partners know what can help, what kind of pressure, and it depends on America, on Europe, on everyone in the world who wants effective diplomacy.”
