Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Monday denounced a series of Russian missile and drone attacks that struck civilian infrastructure across Ukraine, including Kyiv and Odesa. In a series of posts on X, Zelensky reported the strikes killed at least nine people, damaged multiple apartment buildings, and destroyed a lyceum in the Odesa region.
Calling Russia, Iran, and North Korea a “coalition of murderers,” Zelensky appealed for stronger international sanctions and defense partnerships to counter future attacks.
He also accused Moscow of hypocrisy for criticizing recent U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites while remaining silent on Russia’s own use of Iranian-made Shahed drones against Ukrainian cities.
“None of these Russian strikes are accidental,” Zelensky wrote. “Russia’s leadership has no intention of ending the war voluntarily.”
Zelensky said 352 drones, including 159 Shaheds and 16 missiles, were launched overnight. Preliminary reports indicate North Korean ballistic missiles may have been used.
