Zelensky responded to the new Russian attacks

"Yesterday, the Russians struck a private house in Kharkiv with a drone. They killed three young children. Their father was also killed. My sincere condolences to the family and loved ones. The mother was hospitalized – the woman is pregnant and suffered burns," Zelensky wrote.

Additionally, this morning, the occupiers attacked a hospital in Zaporizhzhia with a drone. Last night, a drone attack in Sumy region injured six people, including children, and killed one person.

Early this morning, the occupiers attacked a railway depot in Konotop, damaging a firefighting train. 

The enemy also attacked Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhia, and Poltava. Since yesterday evening, 129 attack drones have been launched.

Zelensky emphasized that every Russian attack erodes trust in diplomatic efforts to end the war. According to him, this proves once again that pressuring Russia and providing Ukraine with clear security guarantees is the only way to stop the killings.

"As long as pressure on the aggressor is insufficient and as long as security for us – for Ukraine – is not guaranteed, nothing else works. The Russian army is not preparing to stop; they are preparing to continue fighting. And the only thing that really works to protect life is our strength, which means support and strengthening of Ukraine must continue," the head of state noted.

"Security is essential for peace. I thank everyone who is acting this way and truly helping Ukraine," Zelensky added.
