In the early hours of Thursday morning, russia launched one of its largest assaults in recent months, deploying nearly 700 drones alongside ballistic and cruise missiles against Ukrainian cities.
At least 17 people have been killed and more than 100 injured across the country.
Civilian areas and infrastructure were deliberately targeted:
Kyiv: 4 people killed, including a 12-year-old boy Odesa: 9 people killed Dnipropetrovsk region: 3 people killed Zaporizhzhia region: 1 person killed
We extend our deepest condolences to the families and loved ones of those killed, and to all those affected by these devastating attacks.
These abhorrent strikes form part of a continued and escalating pattern of targeting civilians and critical infrastructure across Ukraine – inflicting suffering, fear, and destruction on innocent people.
Ukraine continues to call for: Strengthened air defence systems Timely and coordinated international support Sustained pressure on the russian federation
Continued, decisive action from Australia and Ukraine’s international partners remains essential.
