Russians launched 36 missiles and 600 drones at Ukraine: what is known about the consequences

Emergency services are currently working in Kyiv and the region after attacks from the Russian side. Russians fired approximately 36 missiles and nearly 600 drones against the peaceful population. The main targets of the attack are energy and civilian infrastructure, which led to serious destruction and fires in residential buildings. Currently, we know of dozens injured and three fatalities. My sincere condolences to the families and loved ones of the deceased.

We all need to work continuously to ensure we have enough of their missiles for air defense, as well as to have the necessary resources to defend and apply pressure on Russia. It is time for Europe to take action regarding frozen Russian assets if Moscow does not stop using drones and missiles. It is also important for us to communicate with all our partners to end this war. Thank you to everyone who is providing assistance during this difficult time.

“In Kyiv and the region, our emergency services are working at the sites of Russian strikes. About 36 missiles and nearly 600 drones were launched by the Russians against normal life.

In a report on the situation in Kyiv and the region, President Zelensky emphasized the seriousness and acceleration of events in eastern Ukraine during the conflict with Russia. Furthermore, he called for joint actions from Europe and partners regarding immediate measures in response to acts of aggression. Support and solidarity of the nation, as well as the international community, are of great importance during this crucial period.
