This was reported by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
“The Russian army set one of its insane anti-records. They struck civilian infrastructure facilities, residential buildings, and our people. They used several cruise missiles against an American company in Zakarpattia,” the Ukrainian leader said.
He emphasized that one of the Russian targets was a civilian enterprise producing coffee machines, with investments from American business.
“This is also a target for Russia. Very telling,” Zelenskyy added.
Overall, during the night, Russia used 574 attack drones and 40 missiles against Ukraine. Rescuers, Zelenskyy noted, are working across many regions — from Zaporizhzhia to Volyn.
“This strike was carried out as if nothing has changed at all. As if there are no global efforts to stop this war. A response is needed. So far, there has been no signal from Moscow that they are genuinely ready for meaningful negotiations and to end this war. Pressure is needed. Strong sanctions, strong tariffs,” Zelenskyy stressed.
