The president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, stated in a post on his X account on Saturday (12) that Ukrainian cities and communities have been almost constantly attacked since last night. According to him, in Odesa, rescue operations continue at the site of a building damaged by a Russian missile and 37 people were injured.
“This morning, the Russians hit a hotel in Chornomorsk, in the Odesa region, with a drone. Eleven people were injured, including six with reduced mobility. In the Zaporizhzhia region, two people were killed when a Shahed hit residential buildings. Six people were injured. There were also casualties after an attack on a company in Zaporizhzhia,” he wrote.
The leader said that in Kryvyi Rih, a missile struck critical infrastructure and that three people were injured and one was killed. “Two more people were injured in the Kyiv region. Ten regions were attacked by the Russians last night, and Russian attack drones are still flying over many of them. Once again, the Russians attacked ordinary gas stations in the Zhytomyr and Rivne regions, as well as a locomotive depot in the Odesa region,” he added.
The president also said that Ukrainian defenders downed more than 200 aerial targets since the start of the day, but “unfortunately, not all.” “When the Russians brazenly turn ordinary people into targets of their terrorist attacks, it is frustrating that the response from the world’s strongest powers does not match the level of escalation by Russia. A corresponding response that truly has a chance to stop the deaths and protect people is always a joint one,” he emphasized.
Ukraine attacked two Russian chemical industry companies in the last 24 hours
Zelensky also stated that two Russian chemical industry companies were hit in the Perm and Samara regions in the last 24 hours. “Our long-range responses make the aggressor feel the war every day,” he wrote.
“One target was hit in the Black Sea. In Taganrog, our SSU Security Service of Ukraine fighters hit an FPV drone production facility and UAV storage sites, a petroleum products tank, a radar station, and a Pantsir-S2 system,” the president said.
Zelensky also noted that this week a Su-33 aircraft and two Mi-8 helicopters were destroyed in the Krasnodar and Rostov regions and that a petroleum facility was struck in Perm.
