Our cities and communities have been under almost constant attack since last night. In Odesa, rescue and search operations are continuing at the site of an apartment building damaged by a Russian missile. Thirty-seven people have been injured. The search for two more people who are still missing continues nonstop. All necessary emergency services are on the scene. This morning, the Russians struck a hotel in Chornomorsk, in the Odesa region, with a drone. Eleven people were injured, including six with limited mobility. In the Zaporizhzhia region, two people were killed when a “shahed” struck residential buildings. Six people were injured. There were also casualties following a strike on an enterprise in Zaporizhzhia. In Kryvyi Rih, a missile struck critical infrastructure. Three people were injured, and one person was killed. My condolences to all the families and loved ones of the victims. Two more people were injured in the Kyiv region. Ten regions came under Russian attack last night, and Russian attack drones are still flying over many of them. Once again, the Russians struck ordinary gas stations in the Zhytomyr and Rivne regions, as well as a locomotive depot in the Odesa region.
Our defenders have shot down more than 200 aerial targets since the beginning of this day alone, but unfortunately, not all of them. And when the Russians so blatantly turn ordinary people into targets of their terrorist attacks, it is frustrating that the response from the world’s strongest powers does not match the level of Russia’s escalation. A matching response that truly has a chance of stopping the killings and protecting people is always a joint one. I am grateful to everyone who is helping Ukraine with anti-ballistic defense. To everyone who is making the pressure on Russia felt. And to everyone who is helping Ukrainians, wherever they may be.

This morning in Kyiv, a Russian drone struck an apartment building. Four people were injured. As always, our rescuers responded swiftly, and the fire has now been extinguished. Last night in the Odesa region, the international Starokozache border crossing with Moldova was hit. Operations there have been suspended. Tragically, two people were killed and three others were injured. Sixteen people were evacuated by rescuers. My condolences to the families and loved ones of the victims. Efforts are also underway to deal with the aftermath of the Russian attack in the Dnipro, Mykolaiv, Zaporizhzhia, Kharkiv, Zhytomyr, and Kyiv regions.
Unfortunately, there has been too little response from the international community to these strikes, which are taking people’s lives practically every day. But a response is needed – Moscow must not go into the winter believing that it can get away with missile and drone terror without consequences. The aggression must be stopped here and now, before it spreads any further. And it is important that sanctions and support for Ukraine work effectively toward this goal. The partners who can help know exactly what is needed every day. And I thank everyone who is helping to the best of their ability.

Today, Russia struck the media and journalists. An attack drone hit the building of the We Are Ukraine TV channel, which is part of the United News telethon. It happened in broad daylight – while journalists were live on air. The building was partially destroyed. All necessary services are working at the site. State Emergency Service personnel have already extinguished the fire. As of now, five people have been reported injured. Unfortunately, that number may still rise.
“Shaheds” against the media mark a new chapter in Russia’s degradation, and Europe and the world must certainly respond to this. Not a single strike against Ukraine and Ukrainians – against life itself – can be left unpunished. Russia must be stopped, and this is possible only through joint efforts.

Last night, the Russians struck a civilian enterprise in Kamianske, in the Dnipro region, killing four people and injuring five others. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Ordinary residential buildings were damaged in many regions – in Kherson, Boryspil, and the Kharkiv region. In Sumy and Mykolaiv, drones struck shopping malls.
There were also demonstrative Russian strikes on our airports overnight – in Kyiv and Boryspil. Deliberate, for the first time in a while. Clearly, these Russian strikes on the airports are a reaction to the discussions and preparations for the possibility of the U.S. side using an aircraft to travel to Ukraine and land at Kyiv Airport or Boryspil Airport. Russian-Iranian “shaheds” in response to American diplomacy. We have taken note of this Russian move, and next week we will adjust our operation accordingly regarding Russian airspace, which has become dangerous because of our drones and missiles in the sky. Of course, there are and will be no threats to diplomacy from our side.
Ukraine is interested in bringing peace closer. Russia will be held accountable for what it does. Thank you to everyone who is helping our country and the Ukrainian people!
Today, Russian “shaheds” struck one of the universities in Kyiv – right during classes. Fortunately, the students were in the shelter – 160 students. Overnight, the Russians struck Odesa. An ordinary residential building and city infrastructure were damaged. Five people were injured, including a child. In Kherson, the Russians struck a building used by first responders and police. In the Kharkiv region, thousands of people were left without electricity after a strike, and there are injuries. In many regions, air raid alerts continue because of the threat of jet-powered drones and aerial bombs.
Unfortunately, there has been far too little response from the world and its most influential leaders to this latest Russian escalation of strikes. When Russian-Iranian “shaheds” are waging this kind of round-the-clock terror in Europe, it cannot remain a problem for our country alone. Every such strike against Ukrainians, every such use of “shaheds” and other weapons against our cities and villages is effectively Russia practicing tactics that it is preparing for other countries and other peoples as well. Now is the time to act. Evil must be stopped the moment it rears its head. Absolutely clear and decisive steps are needed to pressure Russia for this and to help Ukraine. Every partner knows what is needed: air defense for Ukraine, sanctions against Russia, and a significant increase in defense production. I thank everyone who is truly helping!
Japan is geographically distant from Ukraine, but we are very close in terms of our values, shared principles, and our common understanding of how important freedom and independence are. Thank you, Prime Minister @takaichi_sanae, for your congratulations on the 35th anniversary of Ukraine’s independence.
We are constantly working to strengthen the defense of both our peoples and our regions. Russia’s cooperation with North Korea is truly dangerous for everyone in Asia as well. In light of all this, we highly value your messages about the importance of strengthening sanctions against Russia and increasing support for our country and our people. Thank you for speaking so warmly about the Ukrainian people and for always recognizing the courage of Ukrainians. Thank you, Japan!
A rescue operation is currently underway in Kryvyi Rih following a strike on a shopping mall. There are many casualties. As of now, 14 people have been reported killed. My condolences to their families and loved ones. More than 100 people have been injured, among them 11 children. An absolute Russian atrocity. They're just monsters. We will definitely respond.
It is important that we have everything to protect life. It is important that the world does not remain silent about all this. There must be an end to this Russian war – and we need the world to help us make that happen. I thank everyone who is helping people right now – there in Kryvyi Rih, on the ground, and in our other cities and communities. Eternal memory to all those killed by Russian terror.
An absolutely cynical and despicable strike was carried out by the Russians against an ordinary shopping center in Kryvyi Rih. The attack drones struck in two waves – half an hour after the first hit and the fire, there was a second strike targeting the emergency responders. As of now, five deaths have been reported. My condolences to the families and loved ones of those killed. At least 52 people have been injured, including six children. All those injured are receiving the necessary medical care. Attacks like these are nothing less than terrorist acts. And the world must respond to them accordingly – with real pressure on the aggressor. For peace to be possible, Russia must face real accountability.
Emergency response efforts are currently underway following the Russian strike on the capital and the cities of Kyiv region. More than 600 first responders from the State Emergency Service of Ukraine and police officers are involved in the work in Kyiv, Brovary, and Boryspil. I am grateful to everyone who is helping our people.
In total, 30 residential buildings, an ordinary school, a children’s hospital, and a kindergarten were damaged in Kyiv and the region alone. Unfortunately, as of now, 15 people have been confirmed killed in Kyiv. My condolences to everyone who has lost family members and loved ones. It is important that those who were injured receive all the necessary assistance. And it is important that Ukraine’s partners do not remain silent about this and other similar strikes and truly help protect our people, protect life in Ukraine.
This Russian strike was one of the most cynical, calculated, and large-scale. There were various types of missiles and 168 drones. Today, our warriors shot down all the Russian Kalibr missiles; overall, the interception rate for cruise missiles was 93%, and a significant percentage of the drones were also shot down. The greatest threat is ballistic missiles. And this is something that depends entirely on the supply of Patriot missiles to Ukraine and therefore depends on our country’s partners. You cannot simply watch silently and indifferently, doing nothing as the Russians destroy lives with ballistic missiles. Ukrainian warriors can operate with great skill when the courage and professionalism of our people are backed by the appropriate support from our partners. Thank you to everyone who stands with Ukraine!
