The Ukrainian President in a statement on Friday asserted @ZelenskyyUa,

“Last night, the Russians launched massive attacks on Odesa, Kharkiv, and their outskirts using more than twenty strike drones. Around 20 people were injured, including 2 children – girls aged 12 and 17 – and 3 State Emergency Service workers who had arrived at the scene of the strikes. Tragically, 1 person was killed in Odesa. My condolences go out to the family and loved ones.

‘’In total, 86 drones were launched against Ukraine last night, most of them Russian-Iranian Shaheds.

“Once again, residential buildings, ordinary businesses, civilian infrastructure, and vehicles were set ablaze. I thank our rescuers – 132 employees and over 30 units of equipment were deployed at the sites.

“In the Kharkiv region, response efforts are still ongoing.

“Russia continues its tactics of deliberate terror against our people. And it is precisely for this that it must face a strong response – one that will significantly impact Russia as a whole and its ability to continue the war.

“The G7 countries and the EU know the recipe: strong pressure, sanctions targeting the energy sector and the shadow fleet, and a $30 price cap on Russian oil.

“The sooner the sick minds in the Kremlin lose the ability to finance the war, the more lives we will be able to save in Ukraine.”
