“The terrorist state will definitely feel our response,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in his evening video address on Monday. A total of four people were killed and 45 others injured in the areas of Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia, Khmelnytskyi and in his home region of Kryvyi Rih.
In addition, negotiations with international partners in the coming weeks will be aimed at strengthening Ukrainian air defense, said Zelensky. “Many steps are being taken and I am confident that we will be able to strengthen our state. Our air defense system. Our work with partners on drones.”
On Monday morning, Russia bombed Ukraine once more with dozens of rockets, cruise missiles and drones within a few days. However, fewer of the total of almost 60 projectiles were intercepted than usual – partly because parts of the country that were not as well protected as the capital Kiev were bombed. This is equipped with air defense systems supplied from the West. Ukraine has been defending itself once morest the Russian war of aggression for almost two years.

However, according to the Interfax agency, the authorities in Nizhny Tagil admitted that “some kind of bang” had occurred. There should have been no injuries or damage.
