President Volodymyr Zelenskyy made these remarks on Telegram.“Russia continues its aerial terror against our cities and communities, intensifying strikes on our energy infrastructure. The immorality of these crimes is such that every day Russians kill our people. Yesterday in Kostiantynivka, a child was killed in a church by an aerial bomb,” he emphasized.According to Zelenskyy, over the past week alone, the Russians used more than 3,100 drones, 92 missiles, and about 1,360 guided aerial bombs against Ukraine.He added that emergency services across the country continue to eliminate the consequences of strikes and carry out repairs.“Moscow allows itself to escalate its strikes, openly exploiting the fact that the world is focused on ensuring peace in the Middle East. That is precisely why no weakening of pressure can be allowed. Sanctions, tariffs, and joint actions against the buyers of Russian oil – those who finance this war – must all remain on the table,” Zelenskyy stressed.He noted that maintaining this pressure could pave the way for lasting peace in Europe. “The world can ensure this in parallel with the peace process in the Middle East,” the president added.On Saturday evening, October 11, the Russian occupation army launched attack drones against Ukraine. In the Dnipropetrovsk region, a fire broke out at an infrastructure facility. In the Kharkiv region, the Russians struck a school building in the city of Chuhuiv, injuring five people.
