Russians use more than 70 missiles and 450 drones to attack Ukraine, Zelensky says

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

“Recovery efforts following the Russian strike across our regions are ongoing. Once again, there was a targeted attack specifically on energy facilities – the Russians used a significant number of ballistic missiles in combination with other missiles, more than 70 missiles in total, as well as 450 attack drones,” the president stated.

The city of Kyiv and the Kyiv region, as well as the Sumy, Kharkiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Odesa, and Vinnytsia regions, were under attack.

As of now, nine people are known to have been injured in the attack. Residential buildings and energy infrastructure have been damaged, Zelensky said.

In Kyiv, there were fires in high-rise buildings after the drones hit, and a kindergarten was damaged.

Wherever possible, the necessary services have been involved, the president emphasized.

“Taking advantage of the coldest days of winter to terrorize people is more important to Russia than turning to diplomacy. And this very clearly shows what is needed from our partners and what can help. Timely delivery of missiles for air defense systems and the protection of normal life are our priority. Without pressure on Russia, there will be no end to this war. Right now, Moscow is choosing terror and escalation, and that is why maximum pressure is required,” Zelensky claimed.

The president thanked all partners who understand this and are helping Ukraine.

As reported by Ukrinform, on the night of February 3, the Russian army launched strikes with several types of ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones on eight regions of Ukraine. Among the targets were energy facilities.
