"Almost 300 attack drones, most of them 'shaheds,' along with 18 ballistic and 7 cruise missiles, were launched by the Russians against Ukraine last night," President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in a social media post, APA reports.

"Once again, the main target of the strike was our energy–generation facilities and substations. Sadly, there has been extensive destruction of residential and civilian infrastructure. Dnipro, Zhytomyr, Zaporizhzhia, Kyiv, Odesa, Sumy, Kharkiv, and Donetsk regions came under attack. With no military purpose whatsoever, Russia lobbed missiles at a postal terminal in Korotych, Kharkiv region, killing 4 people. My condolences to their families and loved ones. The situation in the Kyiv region is not easy – several hundred thousand households are currently without power," the Ukrainian President added.

"We expect the acceleration of deliveries already agreed with America and Europe."
