“Last night, Russia attacked from Kharkiv and Sumy regions to Lviv and Bukovyna. There were 26 cruise missiles and 597 drones, more than half of them were Shakhtys. More than 20 missiles and the vast majority of attack drones were neutralized. I thank our air defense forces for the result,” Zelensky said.
According to him, there were hits on civilian infrastructure, including residential buildings. As of now, reports 2 dead people in Chernivtsi. About 20 more wounded people are receiving all the necessary assistance as a result of the shelling.
“The pace of Russia’s air strikes requires quick decisions, and it can be slowed down by sanctions right now. We need tough secondary sanctions against all those who help Russia produce drones and make money from oil. We need more air defense and investments in interceptor drones, which are already showing good results,” the President of Ukraine added.
On the night of July 12, Russian troops attacked Ukraine with kamikaze drones and cruise missiles. Chernivtsi, Lviv, and Lutsk were the epicenter of the attack.
