Since last night, our emergency services have been working at the sites of Russian attacks. In Kramatorsk, Donetsk region, a Russian guided aerial bomb strike caused one section of a ten-story apartment building to collapse from the first through the sixth floor. One person was killed and 16 others were injured. In the settlement of Stepanivka, Sumy region, two people, including a child, were killed when a “shahed” struck a private home. My condolences to their families and loved ones. In Smila, Cherkasy region, a Russian drone struck a nine-story apartment building: fires broke out on several floors, and five people were injured.

The Kherson, Dnipro, Zaporizhzhia, Odesa, Kharkiv, Zhytomyr, Kirovohrad, Mykolaiv, and Chernihiv regions also came under attack overnight. There are injured people in the regions, including children. Apartment buildings, private homes, and infrastructure facilities were damaged. Everyone injured is receiving the necessary medical care.

Every day, Russia uses about 220 guided aerial bombs against our frontline communities, which the aggressor’s defense industry continues to produce and modify despite sanctions. Pressure is needed on every supply chain for foreign components and every enterprise working to enable strikes against lives. Russian missiles, bombs, and drones can be stopped not in our skies, but at the production stage. I thank everyone whose additional sanctions measures are helping make this possible.
