The major Ukrainian cities of Kharkiv and Lviv were again attacked by Russia on Friday evening. There is a rocket alert in the capital Kiev, and there are also reports of explosions and fires. Meanwhile, military aid to war-torn Ukraine next year is in limbo. President Volodymyr Zelenskyi does not want to be defeated and calls on the international community to fight together against Russian aggression.
“Russian terror must be defeated. Terror must always fail. And all of us in the free world must guarantee this together,” Zelenskyj addressed the people’s conscience in his evening video address on Thursday shortly before the end of the year. Everything must be done to ensure that everyone shows “strength together” in the coming year.
Massive Russian attacks followed again during the night. Drones and missiles were deployed. According to Ukrainian authorities, one person was killed and fifteen others were injured. The fatal accident was reported from Kharkiv in the northeast. There are eight injured there. Mayor Ihor Terekhov said on television that 22 airstrikes had been counted. A hospital, several residential buildings and industrial facilities were affected.
High-rise building in Kiev burns down
Seven people were injured in the capital Kiev. Mayor Vitaly Klitschko wrote on the short message service Telegram that a metro station used as a shelter was damaged. A high-rise building also caught fire. According to the city authorities, there have been injuries. The fire was caused by falling debris. A warehouse is also on fire.
Explosions in Lviv
Lviv Mayor Andriy Sadovyi said there were two attacks. Lviv is located in western Ukraine and is a relatively rare destination. Just as in Kiev and Kharkiv, explosions were also heard there.
There is a shortage of ammunition
The Ukrainian army repeatedly emphasizes that it needs much more ammunition to defend itself against the Russian war of aggression that has been going on for more than 22 months. The Western allies sometimes have supply problems. Moreover, billions in support payments for the country are in danger of drying up.
