Following Russia's overnight attack on Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called for new steps to put pressure on Russia to stop the strikes and to ensure real security.
Zelenskyy wrote about this on Telegram, Censor.NET reports.
Thus, he noted that restoration work is underway in the Sumy region after Russian drone strikes.
"Almost a hundred UAVs and targeted strikes at night against our regions, specifically against civilian infrastructure. Unfortunately, energy facilities were damaged," the statement said.
The attack caused power outages in the Poltava, Sumy, and Chernihiv regions. More than a hundred thousand households were left without electricity. All services are engaged on the ground, and the power supply will be restored as soon as possible.
In the Kharkiv region, Russians attacked a regular lyceum with a drone, and in Kherson, a high-rise building. There are victims. Everyone is being provided with the necessary assistance. The Dnipro region was also hit.
"The Russians continue the war and do not respond to any words of the world that they need to stop the killing and destruction. New steps are needed to put pressure on Russia to stop the strikes and to ensure real security. We are working with our partners to apply this pressure. Thank you to everyone who helps!" Zelenskyy added.
As a reminder, Russian troops attacked Ukraine with 95 drones of various types on the night of 27 August.
