In his nightly televised address, Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, announced that there were casualties.
"Every Russian missile shot down is concrete proof that terror can be defeated. But, unfortunately, we still cannot give complete security to our sky - there were several hits.”
He added that “Unfortunately, there are victims. As of this time, there are four people killed in Russian strikes today. My condolences to their family and friends."
