280 drones and 16 ballistic missiles. Russia is targeting Ukraine's energy infrastructure

Last night brought another wave of Russian attacks to Ukraine. According to President Volodymyr Zelensky, the Russians used 16 ballistic missiles and over 280 combat drones. Kiev suffered the most severe damage - as a result of shelling of the university campus and surrounding areas, 12 people were injured, including students and university employees.

"While emergency services were helping people and removing the effects of the first strike, the Russians again used ballistic missiles," Zelensky reported on social media.

The goal is infrastructure and energy

Russian attacks were not limited to the capital. The following oblasts also became the aggressor's target: Kiev, Vinnytsia, Zaporizhia, Dnipropetrovsk, Kharkiv, Odessa, Chernihiv, Sumy, Donetsk, Kherson and Chernivtsi. The President of Ukraine emphasized that almost everywhere, Russians are focusing on destroying energy, logistics and urban infrastructure.

In Kiev, one of the targets was the South Bridge - a key element of the city's infrastructure. Zelensky has no doubt: this is a serious escalation of the Russian operation targeting Ukrainian logistics.

Zelensky appeals for support

The Ukrainian president drew attention to the problem of delays in the deliveries of Western air defense systems, such as Patriot or NASAMS. According to Zelensky, any delay in the transfer of interceptor missiles directly helps Russia achieve its military goals.

"Each such delay means another Russian hit on one or another object. Unfortunately, attacks occur every day. Russia is constantly taking further escalatory actions. Pressure on Russia and real support for Ukraine are needed for the situation to change," Zelensky emphasized.
