Zelenskyy said Moscow used more than a hundred weapons overnight, including jet-powered drones, loitering munitions and ballistic missiles. In Kharkiv, a strike destroyed an ordinary residential building. Rescuers dug through the rubble nearly all night, and four people died.
Kharkiv alone saw 41 people injured in a single evening. Five ballistic missiles also hit civilian infrastructure in Kyiv. Zelenskyy said Ukraine got no early warning from its partners about that strike, and he called missile-launch intelligence "one of the most critical issues" because it helps keep people from being killed.
He said Russia's attacks on Ukrainian energy facilities and infrastructure sent "absolutely clear signals" that Moscow has no plans to ease off. Ukraine says it is ready for reciprocal steps toward de-escalation. Zelenskyy argued that effective pressure on Russia has to come first, because wars end "when the aggressor realizes that it cannot prolong the war."
Poland's foreign minister, Sikorski, also weighed in on frozen Russian assets, calling their use "a complicated issue."
In that same two-day stretch, Russian attacks reached nineteen Ukrainian regions.
