Zelensky: Hitting hospital in Sumy, strikes on cities in Donetsk region - this is what Russia really needs

The head of state wrote about this on his official Telegram channel, Ukrinform reports.

“Now in many regions, you can literally hear what Russia really needs. About 40 “Shaheds” are in our sky, air defense is working. Unfortunately, there are hits to civilian infrastructure. A direct hit of a Shahed in a hospital in Sumy, strikes on cities in Donetsk region, attack drones are now in the sky of Kyiv, Zhytomyr, Sumy, Chernihiv, Poltava, Kharkiv, Kirovohrad, Dnipro and Cherkasy regions,” Volodymyr Zelensky wrote.

“It is these nighttime attacks by Russia that destroy our energy sector, our infrastructure, and the normal life of Ukrainians. And the fact that this night was no exception shows that we must continue to put pressure on Russia for the sake of peace, the President said.

Today, Putin has actually rejected the proposal of a complete ceasefire. It would be right for the world to reject any attempts by Putin to prolong the war.

“Sanctions against Russia. Assistance to Ukraine. Strengthening allies in the free world and working for security guarantees. And only a real cessation of Russia's strikes on civilian infrastructure as evidence of a desire to end this war can bring peace closer,” Volodymyr Zelensky said.

As Ukrinform reported, the Donald Trump administration said that the Russians had agreed to a limited ceasefire on energy and infrastructure facilities in Ukraine.
