Zelenskyy: 12 victims of Russia strikes on Dnipro and Odesa in hospitals, pressure on Russia must not decrease

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy has emphasized the need to continue pressure on Russia due to continued strikes on Ukrainian cities.

"Currently, seven people are in hospitals in Dnipro after the Russia strike on the city. Five are hospitalized in Odesa, and two of them are in serious condition. A person was wounded in Kharkiv region. Dozens of people suffered from Russia strikes today. Everyone is being provided with the necessary assistance," Zelenskyy said on Telegram on Thursday.

According to him, during this night alone, Russia launched more than 200 drones against Ukraine, as well as ballistic missiles. Since morning, there were about 30 more strike drones. In Mykolaiv region, the enemy attacked power grid facilities, and thousands of families were left without electricity. In Odesa, there were hits on residential buildings. In Dnipro, a bus was destroyed, and a residential building, a shop, and cars were damaged. There is damage from an attack in Zaporizhia.

"It is important that our partners do not forget: the war is every day, and security is needed every day. Russia must end this war of its own, and only pressure on it ensures this. Pressure should not decrease, and sanctions must work," Zelenskyy said.
