In his social media post, Zelenskyy shared images showing firefighters at the scene, along with burning houses and vehicles. He said it was essential that the European Union adopt its 21st package of sanctions, that Ukraine's partners continue supporting the country, and that weapons be delivered without delay.
In Sumy, in north-eastern Ukraine, the regional civil defence authority said six residents of a multi-storey apartment block were injured in overnight drone attacks. Four were minors.
