This week alone, russia deployed over 1,900 drones, 1,700 aerial bombs, and 25 missiles

President #Zelenskyy stressed #Ukraine must not face this terror alone. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz visits Kyiv today, with defense agreements expected to boost Ukraine's and Europe's capacity to defend against russia

President #Zelenskyy thanked Ukraine's educators - teachers, nursery staff, lecturers - for their dedication on Educators' Day. Despite five years of full-scale war, air raid alerts, shelter lessons, and russian strikes on schools and universities, they keep teaching and supporting children daily.

He called them a pillar of support making a vital contribution to Ukraine's future.

President #Zelenskyy reports russian strikes on Ukrainian infrastructure — a drone hit Kyiv's Northern Bridge, with overnight attacks on homes, railways, energy and a vessel in Chornomorsk.

He praises Ukrainian forces' response: long-range strikes on targets in russia's samara and bryansk regions, plus "new developments" in the Black Sea.

He urges russia to end its escalation.
