Russia continues to target civilian and critical infrastructure. Since this morning, efforts have been underway to deal with the aftermath of Russian strikes on Kyiv.
This was reported by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, according to Censor.NET.
Attack on Kyiv
"The Russians launched many drones at the city, a significant number of which were jet-powered. Russia continues to target civilian and critical infrastructure: pharmaceutical facilities, petrol stations, the railway, communications and shopping centres. As of now, it is known that two people have been killed. A further 24 have been injured. My condolences go out to their families and loved ones," the statement reads.
There were also strikes on towns and communities in eight regions.
Support for Ukraine
Zelenskyy emphasised that at every meeting of the UN General Assembly, work is ongoing to ensure that support for Ukraine continues.
"Equally important is the fair application of sanctions against Russia. Ukraine is grateful to everyone who is taking action and applying pressure on principle. In fact, all our partners agree that, whilst such attacks are taking place and this terrorist war continues, this is no time for weakness. It is important that the sanctions send a signal to Russia – and, in particular, to its oligarchs – that the war must be brought to an end, rather than simply weathered out. Thank you to everyone who is helping Ukraine!" the President added.
