On Tuesday night, Russians attacked Ukrainian settlements with ballistic missiles and nearly 50 UAVs, most of them Shahed-type, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.

“Zaporizhia, Odesa, and Sumy regions also came under attack overnight. In the village of Bilenke, Zaporizhia district, the occupiers directly targeted people with FPV drones. Two people were injured. Once again, the Russian army is hunting civilians in an attempt to terrorize frontline cities and communities,” Zelenskyy reported.
He noted that the world now sees that sanctions against Russia, and secondary sanctions against all those who help it profiteer from oil, can work if they are strong enough.
