Ukraine’s Zelenskiy says Russian attack killed nine, damaged infrastructure

KYIV (Reuters) -Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said an overnight Russian attack killed nine people, wounded dozens more and damaged energy and transport infrastructure.

“Every brazen attack against ordinary life shows that the pressure on Russia is insufficient. Effective sanctions and assistance to Ukraine can change this,” he said, calling for air defence missiles aid from allies.

Russia used more than 470 drones and 48 missiles in the attack, Zelenskiy added.
