Russia escalates attacks on Ukraine with 150 drones and missiles

Since Sunday evening, Russia has carried out intense attacks on Ukraine, using about 150 drones, missiles, and aerial bombs. As President Volodymyr Zelensky reported on Monday, these attacks have affected over 10 regions of the country.

"Since Sunday evening, Russia has used about one and a half hundred drones, bombs, and missiles against over 10 of our regions. We are still working on shooting down targets that remain in the air," Zelensky wrote on Telegram.

On Monday, rescue operations continued after the morning missile attack on Kharkiv, which injured at least 19 people.

In Zaporizhzhia, as a result of the attack by dozens of drones, a child was injured. Odessa was also attacked, and falling missile fragments caused damage.

Zelensky emphasised that "Russian attacks on Ukrainian lives can be stopped." He pointed to the need for pressure, sanctions, and blocking Russia's access to components used in the production of terror tools.

The President of Ukraine also called for aid packages containing weapons and unwavering determination in the fight against the aggressor.
