(Ukrainian President) According to Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, Odesa was targeted by 60 or more drones in a strike by Russia. The city had extensive damage and losses; a maternity hospital, homes, businesses, a port, and other critical infrastructure.
Each such strike proves that Russia has no intention of ending this war. That is why any easing of pressure on it is dangerous. And coordinated efforts to protect people and lives will help us, help our country’s defense and our diplomacy. I thank all our partners who are working with us and supporting our people. We are working with everyone to give our country more strength and more capacity to protect life in Ukraine every day and every night: our cities and villages, our infrastructure. Collective defense and coordinated action can deliver the most effective results.
