Details: The president pointed out that "Russia is once again attacking Ukraine right now".

He added that Kharkiv was hit by "Shahed" drones.

As a result of the strike, residential buildings, enterprises, and essential civil infrastructure were damaged.

Currently, more than 40 people are reported injured. Rescue teams and relevant services are working at the scene.

Direct quote from Zelensky: "There were and could have been no military targets.

Russia strikes residential areas precisely when Ukrainians are at home, putting their children to bed.

Only inhuman beings can give such orders.

While the world hesitates with decisions, almost every night in Ukraine turns into a nightmare, causing loss of life.

Ukraine needs to strengthen its air defense. We require strong and effective solutions from our partners: the United States, Europe, and all our partners who seek peace. Only strength and sanctions will compel Russia to stop".
