Death toll and number of injured rise in Russia's attack on Ukraine

The death toll has increased as a result of intense attacks by the Russian army on various regions of the country, primarily the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv. In a post on his social media account, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that the number of people who lost their lives in today's attacks has risen to 4, and the number of injured has reached 80.

Zelenskyy reported that 3 of the fatalities were recorded in the capital, Kyiv, and one in Lutsk.

Zelenskyy emphasized that those who lost their lives in Kyiv were rescue workers who had arrived at the scene after the first attack and tragically lost their lives in a second Russian strike.

CALL FOR CEASEFIRE

Zelenskyy recalled that more than 400 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and over 40 missiles were used in the attacks across the country. Targeting Russian President Vladimir Putin, Zelenskyy said, "He is buying himself time to continue the war.

The Russians are constantly trying to disrupt the world's unity to prevent stronger pressure from building up against their war.

Diplomacy must work, security guarantees must be provided, peace must be established, and for this, initial steps—specifically a ceasefire—are needed. To make this happen, pressure must be put on Russia, and the attacks must be stopped," he stated.
