The assaults left three people dead and caused injuries to dozens more, while damaging both civilian infrastructure and residential areas. Ukrainian authorities stated that they will continue to assess the full extent of the impact from this unprecedented attack.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned the latest Russian strikes, calling them a deliberate effort to terrorize civilians rather than a military necessity. He stressed that the attacks are aimed at destroying infrastructure and sowing fear across the country.
“Ukraine has proven it can defend itself and Europe, but for a reliable shield, we must act together: strengthen air defense, increase weapons supplies, and expand sanctions against Russia’s military machine and the sectors that finance it. Every restriction on Russia saves lives,” Zelensky said in a statement on X.
