Russian forces attacked Ukraine with glide bombs and drones, killing at least three people and injuring several others. In Zaporizhzhia, southern Ukraine, two people died and several were injured when glide bombs hit an apartment building. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced the casualties on social media, sharing images of firefighters and burning homes. He also reported one person killed and two injured in the southern city of Kherson.

Zelenskyy stated that Russia used glide bombs and drones in the attacks. Two people were injured in strikes on Odesa and the surrounding region. The Ukrainian president emphasized the importance of the European Union adopting a 21st sanctions package and ensuring immediate weapons delivery to Ukraine.

In Sumy, northeastern Ukraine, six residents of a high-rise apartment building were injured during overnight drone attacks, with four of the injured being minors, according to regional civil defense authorities. Russia launched multiple strikes overnight, causing a large fire at a shopping center. Emergency vehicles were damaged in subsequent attacks while firefighters were battling the blaze. Russia has been conducting a large-scale war against Ukraine for over four years, with civilian casualties and significant damage occurring during repeated attacks.

It is very important that the European Union adopts the 21st package of sanctions, that Ukraine's partners continue to support the country, and that weapons are delivered immediately.
