Volodymyr Zelensky noted that the targets were civil infrastructure enterprises, residential buildings, and facilities where people work.
The Head of State paid special attention to the attack on an American enterprise in Transcarpathia, which came under attack from the Russian Federation. After the strike, a fire broke out on the territory of the enterprise, which is still being extinguished by rescuers.
"Several cruise missiles were lobbed against an American-owned enterprise in Zakarpattia. It was a regular civilian business, supported by American investment, producing everyday items like coffee machines. And yet, it was also a target for the Russians. This is very telling," Zelensky informed.
According to official data, 15 people were injured there, all of whom have already been provided with medical assistance.
According to the President, other regions of Ukraine were also attacked, from the Zaporizhzhia region to Volyn.
"In total, overnight, 574 strike drones and 40 missiles were launched against Ukraine. A significant portion was intercepted, but unfortunately, not all," the President noted.
Zelensky emphasized that such actions by the enemy demonstrate the absence of any intention to move towards peace negotiations or an end to the war. He called on international partners to increase sanctions and economic pressure on the aggressor state, emphasizing the need for new, powerful sanctions and tariffs. The President thanked everyone who is providing assistance to Ukraine in this difficult time.
