On the night of June 10, Russia launched one of its largest attacks on Kyiv. The attacks also hit Odesa, Chernihiv, and Dnipro regions, according to President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
According to the President, Russian attacks are louder than the efforts of the United States and other countries to force Russia to peace.
In total, Russia struck Ukraine with:
- 315 drones, of which 250 were Shahed-type strike drones;
- 7 missiles, of which two were North Korean-made ballistic missiles.
Russian strikes damaged residential buildings and urban infrastructure. In Odesa, terrorists damaged a maternity hospital.
At present, 13 people are known to have been injured. Unfortunately, there are some killed.
"It is vital that the response to this and other similar Russian attacks is not silence from the world, but concrete action. Action from America, which has the power to force Russia into peace. Action from Europe, which has no alternative but to be strong. Action from others around the world who called for diplomacy and an end to the war – and whom Russia has ignored. There must be strong pressure for the sake of peace," the President added.
Russian strikes on Ukraine
Russian troops systematically attack the territory of Ukraine with various types of weapons, including missiles, artillery, guided aerial bombs, and attack drones. Civilian infrastructure is often targeted: residential buildings, hospitals, energy and transportation networks.
Russia uses drones most intensively, launching them almost every night, inflicting massive strikes on many regions.
