Head of the Presidential Office Andriy Yermak has responded to the Russian attacks on the Odessa and Sumy regions on Wednesday night.

"Odesa region, Sumy region. These attacks must end. Strengthening security in the air, on land and at sea is our priority. Pressure on Russia to end the war is too," he said on Telegram on Wednesday morning.

He specified that the Russians' target this time was a fuel and energy infrastructure facility where a fire broke out.

Also, according to Yermak, civilian buildings were damaged.

"In conditions when the aggressor speaks of a desire for peace, its strikes demonstrate that the Russian Federation is in no hurry to end the war," he said.

As reported, the Russian occupiers attacked the Odesa region with drones, as a result of which infrastructure facilities and production facilities were damaged, and one person was injured. The occupiers also used drones to strike the private sector in Sumy Oblast, fires broke out in the Okhtyrsk community, and there are casualties.
