The Russians attacked Ukraine last night with 500 strike drones and over 40 missiles, including “Daggers.”

The Russians attacked Ukraine last night with about 500 strike drones and more than 40 missiles, including “Daggers.” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced this on his Telegram channel.

“The massive Russian attack on Ukraine lasted for more than 12 hours. Brutal strikes, deliberate and targeted terror against ordinary cities – almost 500 strike drones and more than 40 missiles, including “Daggers”. In the morning, Russian-Iranian “shaheeds” were again in our sky. The main directions of the enemy attack were Kyiv and the region, Zaporizhia, Khmelnytskyi region, Sumy region, Odessa region,” the president wrote.

He stressed that at least 40 people are currently known to have been injured, including children. In particular, four people died in Kyiv, including a 12-year-old girl. The building of the Institute of Cardiology in the capital was damaged. 

According to Zelensky, a bread production enterprise, an automobile rubber plant, private and apartment buildings, and civilian infrastructure facilities were under fire. 

“This vile attack took place virtually as the end of the UN General Assembly week, and this is how Russia is declaring its real position. Moscow wants to continue to fight and kill and deserves only the harshest pressure in the world. It is in the Kremlin’s interest to continue this war and terror as long as there are funds from the energy sector and the shadow fleet is operating. We will continue to strike back to deprive Russia of these opportunities to earn and force it to engage in diplomacy. Everyone who wants peace should support President Trump’s efforts and stop any Russian imports,” the head of state noted.

According to him, the time for decisive action has long come, and Ukraine is counting on a strong reaction from the United States, Europe, the G7, and the G20.
