Strikes in the Black Sea
In addition to ground targets, Ukrainian forces attacked Russian vessels in the Black Sea. Two shadow fleet tankers and four cargo ships were hit.
The president stressed that Ukraine continues to respond to Russian attacks on its cities and communities.
"This war must be brought to an end, and that is only possible by increasing the pressure on the sole cause of this war – Russia," Zelenskyy said.
The previous day, drones carried out a large-scale attack on Moscow and the surrounding region, causing a fire. Residents reported a series of explosions in different areas.
Meanwhile, a wave of explosions also swept across Crimea, where one of the key facilities caught fire. The attack affected several strategic locations on the peninsula.
