President Zelenskyy: Russia is targeting our civilian infrastructure ahead of winter

“Every Russian missile and every Russian attack drone also contains parts that are still being supplied to Russia from Western countries and various countries close to Russia,” said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in a traditional address to the Ukrainian nation on Oct. 5.

Fellow Ukrainians!

Recovery efforts are ongoing following the Russian strike on Ukraine – a massive attack in which the Russians are not even trying to conceal their true intentions. The overwhelming majority of targets were civilian objects and ordinary infrastructure: the energy sector, civilian enterprises, warehouses – specifically those storing civilian goods – as well as our railway logistics that sustains normal life in our communities and our economy. Dozens of ordinary residential buildings were also damaged.

Unfortunately, there were casualties from this attack. In the Lviv region, four people were killed, including a child. In the Zaporizhzhia region, one person was killed. My condolences to the families and loved ones. As of now, 18 people are reported injured, all of whom are receiving medical assistance.
