“The geography and brutality of Russian strikes, not just occasionally, but literally every day and night, show that Putin couldn’t care less about diplomacy,” said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in a traditional address to the Ukrainian nation on March 30.
Dear Ukrainians!
I have just spoken with the President of Finland – it was a very productive conversation; our relations have always been meaningful. I want to thank President Stubb and all of Finland for their support of Ukraine, for their very rational positions, and for their willingness to work together to bring about real peace.
I informed him about the ongoing Russian strikes – just the day before Kharkiv was brutally hit by Russian “Shahed” drones, one of which even damaged a hospital facility, ordinary residential buildings, and ordinary civilian infrastructure. In total, as a result of that strike on Kharkiv alone, 55 people were injured, including 5 children; all of them received assistance. Tragically, two people lost their lives. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Unfortunately, today has already brought more strikes and shelling. Cherkasy region — attacked by drones. Kherson region — artillery and drone-dropped explosives on ordinary buildings and civilians. Donetsk region — guided aerial bombs, drones, artillery. Zaporizhzhia — drones. Dnipro region — guided bombs and drones. Sumy region — sadly, bombs and drones again. Kharkiv region — guided aerial bomb strikes.
