Russia Launches 'One Of The Heaviest Strikes' On Ukraine In Over 30 Months Of War: Zelensky

Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky took to social media Monday to condemn one of the largest assaults from Russia, in which “more than a hundred” missiles and drones targeted critical civilian infrastructure.

“Now, all over the country, efforts are underway to eliminate the consequences of the Russian strike. It was one of the heaviest strikes — a combined one. More than a hundred missiles of various types and about a hundred ‘Shahed’ drones. And like most previous Russian strikes, this one was just as vile, targeting critical civilian infrastructure,” Zelensky said on Telegram.

The ballistic missiles Russia wields are from North Korea, Zelensky claimed.

The number of deaths as a result of this most recent strike are not yet known. Zelensky confirmed that there are “dozens of injured people, and all of them are receiving the necessary assistance.”

According to the New York Times, Russian forces fired over 200 missiles and drones at Ukrainian energy facilities, causing residents in Kyiv, Ukraine’s capital, to seek refuge in basements and subways.

“There is a lot of damage in the energy sector. But wherever there is a power outage, restoration is already underway. Our repair crews will work around the clock,” Zelensky added. “We will restore electricity.”

The strikes come as the war between Russia and Ukraine surpasses the 30-month mark.

Last week, Russian President Vladimir Putin threatened Ukraine with “a worthy response" after Zelensky’s forces made a successful incursion into the Kursk region.

This was the first time opposing troops set foot on Russian soil since World War II, the Times noted.

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine technically began in 2014, but it escalated significantly on Feb. 24, 2022, becoming the largest conflict in Europe since World War II. The war has resulted in hundreds of thousands of military casualties and tens of thousands of Ukrainian civilian casualties.
