According to Ukrinform, President Volodymyr Zelensky reported this on Facebook.

“Almost every night, Russia strikes our people with various types of weapons. Since yesterday evening, there have been attacks on our communities – strikes on the Dnipro, Zaporizhzhia, Kharkiv, Chernihiv, and Odesa regions. Unfortunately, there are killed and wounded. My condolences to everyone who has lost loved ones as a result of these attacks,” Zelensky stated.

According to the President, the Russians used nearly 1,500 attack drones, 1,170 guided aerial bombs, and over 70 missiles of various types to strike at civilian life in Ukraine this week alone. There were strikes on ordinary residential buildings, civilian infrastructure, and numerous terrorist attacks on energy facilities.

The President expressed gratitude to all the people who provided assistance after the Russian strikes.

“I am grateful to everyone who helps after these strikes – our first responders, who are always quick to arrive on site, our energy workers, medics, and all emergency services,” Zelensky said.

According to the President, “It is clear that Moscow aims to inflict harm primarily on our people.”

“That is why we are actively working to ensure reliable support for our energy sector this winter. We already have concrete agreements with our partners. Through contributions to the Ukraine Energy Support Fund or by providing the necessary equipment, the United States, Norway, Germany, the Netherlands, Canada, the United Kingdom, Italy, Japan, Lithuania, Denmark, Sweden, Estonia, Spain, and the European Commission are already supporting us. We are grateful to everyone standing with Ukraine!” Zelensky stressed.
