The attacks happened over the weekend. Russia used many drones and missiles to attack nine different regions in Ukraine. A 72-year-old woman named Natália was one of many people injured during the attacks.
Ukraine’s defense system had trouble stopping so many drones and missiles at once. The capital, Kyiv, was not a main target this time, but the city’s air attack alarms still went off.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is unhappy with his allies in America and Europe. He said they are not doing enough to help his country. He feels that the world is not responding properly to the attacks. Meanwhile, Poland had to get its air force ready because the fighting was so close to its border. Mr. Zelensky is asking his allies for more support to defend his country from these attacks. He continues to pressure other countries to help Ukraine more.
