Ukrainian President Confirms 19 Persons Killed As Russia Launches Fresh Missile Attack
The President, who said that a rescue operation is currently underway in Kharkiv, said, “So far, we know of 19 casualties. Dozens of strike drones attacked Zaporizhzhia, injuring a child.”
Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelenskky, has said that 19 people have so far been confirmed dead in the fresh dozens of missile and drone attacks launched by Russian forces.
President Zelenskky in a statement on Monday said that the occupiers in the continued attack on regions across Ukraine launched a missile strike in Kharkiv and dozens of strike drones on Zaporizhzhia.
The President, who said that a rescue operation is currently underway in Kharkiv, said, “So far, we know of 19 casualties. Dozens of strike drones attacked Zaporizhzhia, injuring a child.”
He further stated, “Odesa was also hit, with missile fragments falling and causing damage. And this is just one day of Russian terror against Ukraine.”
He said that since Sunday evening, “Russia has launched nearly 150 strike drones, aerial bombs, and missiles, targeting over ten of our regions.
“Combat operations are still ongoing against aerial targets that remain in the air.”
He added, “I thank the defenders of our skies for the shoot-downs and round-the-clock work to ensure our people’s safety.
“These Russian strikes on Ukrainian lives can be stopped—with pressure, with sanctions, by blocking the occupiers’ access to the components they use to manufacture the means of this terror, by providing arms packages for Ukraine, and with a determination that must be unwavering.”
