ZELENSKIY: THEY TARGETED OUR HOMES AND PEOPLE



Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenskiy shared on social media, "The Russian army carried out an unimaginable attack at night. They targeted civilian infrastructure facilities, homes, and our people. Several cruise missiles were fired at an American business in Zakarpattia. It was an ordinary civilian business producing daily necessities like coffee machines, supported by American investments. However, it was also a target for the Russians. This is very telling. The fire at the facility is still being extinguished. So far, 15 people have been reported injured in the attack, and all have received the necessary assistance. Our teams are also on duty in many regions from Zaporizhzhia to Volyn. A total of 574 UAVs and 40 missiles were launched at Ukraine overnight.

"STRONG SANCTIONS AND CUSTOMS DUTIES ARE NEEDED"



A significant part was blocked, but unfortunately not all. The Russians carried out this attack as if nothing had changed, as if there were no global efforts to stop the war. This requires a response. There is a need for pressure. Strong sanctions, strong customs duties. I thank everyone who is helping," he stated.
