Today, many were shocked by yet another video of the drone “safari” Russians are carrying out against civilians in Kherson. A Russian drone deliberately hunted down a man selling vegetables and detonated right next to him. The Russians even admitted to the crime, showing zero regret and openly boasting about tormenting people. The man was wounded in the blast. Every single day, ordinary people in Kherson face these Russian "safaris."
The world must see this. It must see every piece of evidence that Russia has gone mad and that its soldiers take pleasure in killing and abusing civilians. Without pressure on Russia, the dismantling of its capacity for aggression, and real security guarantees, it is simply impossible to imagine the world being able to coexist with this evil. We must remain resolute in defending life. We must act and support life in ways that force Russia to seriously think about peace rather than expanding the range of its drones.
This is not just about Ukraine. Russia’s campaign against human life must be stopped here in Ukraine before it spreads further. Finland and Kazakhstan, the Baltic states and Poland, the countries of the South Caucasus, Romania, and Moldova—all should work together to ensure real security guarantees and bring Russia’s war to an end. Peace is needed, which requires cooperation among everyone in the world who truly values peace. Thank you to everyone standing with Ukraine!
Lviv, just 45 miles from the border with Poland. Russia hit several residential buildings with cruise missiles. Many other Ukrainian cities were also struck in the massive overnight attack. Putin's only remaining tool is killing civilians and destroying their homes.
Look at this, world. Don't look away.
This is Kyiv tonight.
A European capital. Home to more than 3 million people.
Under a massive russian ballistic missile barrage.
This isn't the first time. Unless russia is stopped, it won't be the last.
Overnight, Russia carried out one of its largest ballistic missile attacks on Kyiv. The enemy launched more than 40 missiles of various types – most of them against the capital – and 120 attack drones.
As of now, one person has been reported killed in Kyiv and the region, and 16 others have been injured. My condolences to all their families and loved ones. Everyone affected is receiving the necessary medical care. Emergency response efforts are continuing at three locations, with nearly 600 first responders involved. The relevant services are also working in the Odesa region.
In total, over the course of this week, Russia has used around 1,450 attack drones, more than 1,640 guided aerial bombs, and 99 missiles of various types against Ukraine. People were injured in the Odesa region and Zaporizhzhia, and there was damage in the Sumy and Chernihiv regions. This week, the Vinnytsia, Dnipro, Donetsk, Zhytomyr, Kirovohrad, Mykolaiv, Poltava, Kharkiv, Kherson, and Cherkasy regions also came under Russian attack.
Protection against ballistic missiles is our constant and top priority right now. Interceptors are needed every day, and I am grateful to everyone who takes our agreements seriously and ensures the delivery of anti-ballistic capabilities. Right now, these packages are literally saving lives during every massive Russian attack. It is also essential that pressure on Russia continue alongside our work on anti-ballistic capabilities. Delays in adopting new decisions give Moscow the opportunity to plan not only new attacks against our people, but also ways to circumvent new sanctions. Thank you to everyone who is helping.
Russians are attacking Kyiv with missiles. Dozens of strikes at random locations – residential buildings, shopping centers, streets.
There are numerous fires and destruction. There are wounded and dead civilians.
These attacks have no military sense . Just terror
🔴 The firefighters extinguished the fire at the kindergarten.
48 children were in the shelter at the time of the Russian drone strike, and they were all evacuated to safety. One person was killed and six others were injured.
What Ukraine's air defence faced last night -- more than 500 air targets! If it were any other country -- actions, headlines, outrage.
For russia's war against Ukraine? Just another weekend under fire. "More sanctions in two weeks."

Ukraine is a diverse hub of religious freedom, where people of different faiths harmoniously coexist.
Orthodox, Greek Catholic, Roman Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, and other communities worship openly, build freely, and contribute to society.

In Kryvyi Rih, russians hit a hotel with ballistic missiles. They killed three people. There are wounded, including a child.
Russia just wants peace. Trump is telling the truth. Russians are for peace. Here is the proof.
