Three people died as a result of Russia's attacks on Ukraine last night, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said in an X post, APA reports.

"Russia did not stop its brutal bombing of civilians in Ukraine even on the holy Christmas night. Strikes on Odesa killed one person and injured two others. One civilian was killed in the Kharkiv region and another in the Chernihiv region. People were injured in the Zaporizhzhia and Sumy regions. Odesa suffers the most these days. Russia deliberately destroys energy and civilian infrastructure, leaving people without power, water, and heating amid freezing temperatures," Sybiha noted.
