More than 40 missiles have hit the northeastern Ukraine city of Kharkiv since the beginning of the year, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a speech on Saturday.
“Since the beginning of this year alone, in less than two and a half months, more than 40 enemy missiles have already hit Kharkiv,” Zelensky said, adding that the “ruins and wreckage” left behind is a self-portrait of Russia.
Oleh Synehubov, head of Kharkiv’s military administration, said on Saturday that engineers were working to restore power to thousands of homes in the region after a massive Russian attack on Thursday.
Zelensky also spoke about the bombing of other areas in Ukraine. He said that three people killed in the Russian bombing of the city of Kherson “had simply gone to buy food in a store”.
The attack took place on the Mykolaiv highway, wounding two other people, according to a Telegram post on Saturday by Oleksandr Prokudin, head of the Kherson region’s military administration.
Zelensky said that “in Zaporizhzhia, a Russian missile hit the city’s life support facilities.”
“At the borders, the occupier fired at villages to intimidate people, to expel people,” he added.
The Ukrainian president announced “a new stage of sanctions against natural and legal persons” associated with Russia.
“The decree has been published,” he said. “It is more than 280 companies and 120 people who, through gambling businesses, have worked against Ukraine, withdrawn funds from our state and financed various Russian schemes.”
The decree “closes schemes worth tens of billions,” Zelensky said.
