Zelensky: Dead and injured after latest Russian attacks
At least one person died and eight others, including a child, were injured in new Russian drone and missile attacks in Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Sunday.
“The main target of the attack was the energy supply, but normal residential buildings were also damaged, and there was damage to the railway,” Zelensky posted on Telegram.
A 49-year-old man was killed in the Kiev region as Russia launched almost 300 drones and 50 missiles and cruise missiles at Ukraine, he said.
In addition to Kiev, the areas of Dnipropetrovsk, Kirovohrad, Mykolaiv, Odessa, Poltava and Sumy were also affected.
“Moscow continues to invest more in attacks than in diplomacy,” Zelensky said, referring to the ongoing negotiations between the warring countries.
This week alone, Russia deployed over 1,300 combat drones, more than 1,400 glide bombs and 96 rockets and cruise missiles, according to the president.
“That is why we must strengthen our air defence,” Zelensky stressed, adding that that Ukraine needs systems that can respond to ballistic missiles. “Each such package protects critical infrastructure and maintains normality of life.”
Ukraine has been resisting a full-scale Russian invasion for almost four years with Western assistance. Tuesday will mark the anniversary of the start of the war on February 24.
