(MENAFN- UkrinForm) Head of the Kryvyi Rih Defense Council Oleksandr Vilkul reported this on Telegram.

“Kryvyi Rih. Massive Shahed attack. Already more than 10 explosions and over 10 Shaheds over the city,” he wrote.

Russia continues to terrorize life in Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelensky wrote on his official Telegram channel,

“Nothing has changed for Russia – it is still terrorizing life in Ukraine. A swarm of drones struck Kryvyi Rih, hitting civilian infrastructure. There were dozens more attack drones in our skies. Missiles were also spotted. In fact, not a single night in recent weeks has passed without Russian strikes on Ukraine. Most of the targets are infrastructure – a systematic campaign of terror against our energy sector,” the post reads.

Zelensky emphasized that Russia aims to turn this part of Europe into an island of danger and suffering for people - something that must not be allowed.

“Russia will be forced to stop the war once it is no longer able to continue it. And Russia's true readiness for peace lies not in words – Putin has never been short of those – but in actually ceasing the strikes and killings, and that's precisely where he has a problem,” Zelensky stressed.

He added:“Therefore, every air defense system for Ukraine matters – it saves lives. Every decision that can strengthen us brings the end of the war closer. Security can be guaranteed if everything we have agreed on, including here in Washington, is implemented.”
