Right now, in the Dnipro region, assistance is being provided to everyone affected by the Russian ballistic missile strike. As of now, over 160 people have been reported injured. Tragically, 11 people have been killed. The rubble is still being cleared, so unfortunately, the death toll may rise. My condolences to all the families and loved ones. This strike hit numerous civilian infrastructure: homes, schools, and even a regular passenger train. There were more than 500 passengers on board. Five train cars were destroyed. There were no fatalities. All the injured have received medical assistance. It was another Russian strike on life. Russia cannot produce ballistic missiles without components from other countries. Russia cannot manufacture hundreds of other types of weapons without the parts, equipment, and expertise that this deranged regime in Moscow does not possess on its own. That is why it is so important to minimize the schemes that connect Russia with its accomplices. There must also be a significant strengthening of sanctions against Russia. We know exactly what we are fighting for — and it is the protection of life. Russia knows exactly why it continues this war — and it is a complete disregard for life and an attempt to cleanse our land of people. This is not a fight where it’s hard to choose a side. Standing with Ukraine means defending life. I am grateful to everyone who is helping. Right now, these very days, we are doing everything to secure even more support for our people, for our state.
