On the early hours of today Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zekensky @ccused Russia of firing over 40 missiles and 40 drones at Ukraine overnight hitting the northeastern city of Kharkiv again and targeting energy facilities across the country.
Zelensky said the missiles and drones shot into the city of Kharkiv targeted “critical infrastructure” throughout the country.
Posting on X, Zelensky wrote: “Overnight, Russia fired more than 40 missiles and 40 drones at Ukraine.
“Some missiles and ‘Shahed’ drones were successfully shot down. Unfortunately, only a part of them.
“There was another vile missile @tt@ck on Kharkiv and the Kharkiv region.”
Officials have so far not reported any d3@ths.
Zelensky said infrastructure facilities were also targeted in Kyiv, the cities of Zaporizhzhia and Odesa in the south, and the western city of Lviv, near the Polish border.
“Russian terrorists once again targeted critical infrastructure,” he said.
Moscow has heavily @tt@cked Ukraine’s energy facilities, reviving a tactic it used through last winter on a country exhausted by war.
Zelensky called on Ukraine’s Western partners not to “turn a blind eye” and to provide more air defence systems.
Ukraine has been suffering from a lack of men and ammunition in recent months and has been weakened by the blocking in the US Congress of key US military aid.
Ukraine’s Interior Minister Igor Klymenko said hundreds of rescuers had been deployed at sites across the country after “massive shelling”.
“For several hours, the Russian military @tt@cked five regions of Ukraine, hitting critical infrastructure,” he said.
