Zelenskyy also noted that 13 of our regions came under attack during the night. There has been damage to residential buildings, infrastructure and the railway network.
Pressure must be brought to bear on Russia
"This night has provided yet further confirmation that Russia perceives any easing of pressure as a signal that it is supposedly acceptable to continue the war, that it is supposedly acceptable to drop bombs on cities. We need to send different signals. Russia must understand that the war must be stopped, and to achieve this, it must feel the pain of its losses. Right now, it is our long-range capabilities that are ensuring this. And we will respond to Russian strikes. Thank you to everyone who is helping," the head of state concluded.
