The enemy attacked Ukraine at night with four ballistic missiles and 142 drones, a woman and her son were killed, seven wounded, including four children, are known, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.
"Overnight, the Russians launched four ballistic missiles and 142 drones, half of them Shaheds. Dozens of drones in our sky. Kyiv was hit twice. First ballistics, and in the morning - drones. Now all services are on the ground, helping people. As of now, seven wounded are known, including four children. Unfortunately, there are dead - a woman and her son. My condolences to their families and loved ones," the president wrote on Telegram on Wednesday morning.
Since the evening, there have been many strikes on Zaporizhia, Donetsk, Zhytomyr, Kherson, and Dnipro regions. Rescuers worked everywhere. After the Russian ballistics strike on Velyka Chernechchyna in Sumy region, the Russians also began to use aerial bombs, shelling this area. It was then that rescue operations were underway, Zelenskyy added.
"Only a significant increase in pressure on Russia and strengthening of sanctions can pave the way for diplomacy. Any measures that will deprive the aggressor of resources for waging war must be applied for the sake of lasting peace. I thank the partners who understand this and help. I thank everyone who helps Ukraine with air defense. Russia must be held responsible for what it does," the head of state noted.
