He made the statement on his social media.“Last night, Russia launched more than 100 drones against us. Ordinary apartment buildings in several districts of the city (Kyiv - ed.) have been damaged. Unfortunately, as of now, three people are known to have been killed in the attack. My deepest condolences to their families. Dozens have been injured, including children,” the president said.He stressed that Russia is deliberately targeting civilian objects in an attempt to destroy the normal life of Ukrainians."This week, they’ve been striking residential buildings, our people, children, and civilian infrastructure. These are the main targets for the Russians. Thousands of strikes with various types of weapons: in just one week, Russia has used nearly 1,200 attack drones, more than 1,360 guided aerial bombs, and over 50 missiles of different types against Ukraine," Zelenskyy added.At the same time, Ukraine continues to actively defend itself — both on the front lines and in the air and in diplomacy.The president mentioned the adoption of the 19th EU sanctions package and new U.S. sanctions against Russian oil, thanking partners for their support."We are grateful to our partners for these steps, but it is important not to stop here. We count on the synchronization of these sanctions across the G7 and other partner jurisdictions. And, of course, additional tariff and sanctions restrictions are needed against Russia and all those helping it stay afloat. Certainly, pressure will help bring about peace. I thank everyone who contributes to this," he concluded.Russia launched a series of drone attacks on Ukraine overnight, killing three people and injuring dozens in Kyiv, while a separate strike hit an industrial site in the northern city of Chernihiv.
