Russian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported that Moscow launched approximately 1,600 guided aerial bombs, 48 assorted missiles, and nearly 2,300 drones at Ukraine during the previous week. The attacks resulted in numerous casualties, with four people killed and 22 wounded, including an 11-year-old girl in Dnipropetrovsk region.
Zelenskyy expressed his condolences to the affected families. In Vinnytsia, a Russian drone struck a high-rise apartment building, injuring six individuals. Kharkiv witnessed a construction hypermarket targeted initially, followed by a distressing repeat strike on emergency services dispatched to the scene, causing further injuries among rescuers.
The Russian forces also targeted thermal power plants, substations, coal mines, grain storage facilities, shopping centers, and a postal terminal, causing damage across nine regions.
Zelenskyy emphasized that this represents Russia's response to diplomacy and de-isolation efforts, urging partners not to reduce support for those defending lives. The appeal comes alongside the unblocking of Patriot interceptor deliveries, as previously agreed upon by European nations. Furthermore, Zelenskyy called for continued support for Ukrainian combat aviation, particularly in countering Russian Shaheds.
He reiterated that every defense package, especially before winter, plays a critical role in saving lives. Zelenskyy expressed gratitude to partners for their assistance, stating that these measures are crucial during the challenging winter months. Zelenskyy's comments were made following intelligence indicating Russia's prioritization of further attacks on Ukrainians in the coming weeks.
Moscow is believed to be capitalizing on delays in air defense deliveries. Additionally, Zelenskyy reported more than 170 hits on key energy facilities since October 11, and disclosed that Russia fired 21 ballistic missiles at Kyiv shortly after the latest diplomatic talks.
