Russia battered Ukraine with a “massive rocket attack” of missile strikes that hit critical infrastructure and residential buildings across the country, Ukrainian President Zelensky said.
“It’s been a difficult night. A massive rocket attack across the country. … Attacks on critical infrastructure and residential buildings,” Zelensky said in a Telegram post.
“The enemy fired 81 missiles in an attempt to intimidate Ukrainians again, returning to their miserable tactics. The occupiers can only terrorize civilians,” he added.
The Ukrainian president said attacks targeted several regions throughout Ukraine, including Odesa, Dnipro, Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia — which houses Europe’s largest nuclear power plant — and the capital city of Kyiv. Some were injured and killed in the strikes, Zelensky said.
Zelensky and other top Kyiv officials quickly turned attention to protecting the country’s energy infrastructure and restoring power to affected areas.
“Despite thousands of Russian attacks, we will all together ensure the invincibility of Ukraine. We are working. We will win!” the president said.
Ukraine’s chief commander of the armed forces, Valerii Zaluzhnyi, said Moscow shot 81 missiles and eight Shahed drones into Ukraine on Thursday, according to the Associated Press.
