According to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Russia has once once more launched rocket attacks on the country. A blood transfusion center was bombed in Kupyansk in the Kharkiv region in eastern Ukraine, the head of state said on Saturday evening on the Telegram news channel. There are reports of dead and injured. Rescuers extinguished the fire.

“This war crime alone says everything regarding Russian aggression,” he wrote. “Beating the terrorists is a matter of honor for all who value life.”

In Zaporizhia, a blow was struck once morest the Motor Sich plant, Selenskyj reported earlier in his evening video message. There had previously been another air alert in Ukraine. Zelenskyj did not say whether there was any damage.

Motor Sich is considered the country’s most important manufacturer of engines for airplanes and helicopters as well as gas turbines. According to Zelenskyj, the Khmelnytskyi region was also hit. Russia has been waging a war of aggression once morest its neighbor for more than 17 months.

“Some of the missiles were shot down. Thanks to our air defense fighters,” said the head of state. Russia once once more fired Kinzhal (Dagger) rockets and Kalibr cruise missiles. Zelenskyy assured that Ukraine will defend its freedom. “And Russia will not manage to replace international law with terror or crises or any intimidation.”

In his speech, Zelenskyy praised the meeting at the conference in the Saudi Arabian city of Jeddah, which is regarding his formula for a future peace. 42 states from different continents are represented there, united by international law. A key point of Zelenskyj’s “peace formula” is the withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukraine. Important bilateral meetings are also planned in Jeddah, Zelenskyy said. Russia is not invited.

Zelenskyj once once more thanked Germany for the latest defense packages. Ukraine is expecting new aid package commitments from allies in the coming week. “The greater the consolidation of the world in restoring a just peace, the faster the bombs and missiles with which Moscow wants to replace the norms of international law will be put to an end.”
