Ukraine president confirms series of attacks on Pryluky, Dnipro, Kremenchik, Zaporizhzhia and Kyiv

Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Russia launched “one fo the most vile strikes” on Ukraine last night, targeting the country’s energy infrastructure overnight.

At least 11 people were killed, and more than 34 injured in a series of attacks on Pryluky, Dnipro, Kremenchik, Zaporizhzhia, and Kyiv, which Zelenskyy ironically called “a birthday gift for Putin” who turns 74 today.

“On Putin’s birthday, Russian generals brought him his favorite present: war crimes.”

“What Russian generals fail to tell Putin is that he is not winning this war and never will. …

I urge all partners to give Putin real presents that will help him finally choose diplomacy over war. Stronger sanctions on his military-industrial complex, including facilities producing ballistic missiles and the Rassvet satellite system, as well as stronger support for Ukraine, including all kinds of air defense and energy assistance ahead of winter.
