While Russo-Ukrainian clashes continue, the preliminary assessments of the victims report 137 dead and more than 300 injured on the first day of the war.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced this Friday, February 25, the death of at least 137 of his fellow citizens, the day after the Russian offensive in Ukraine. “316 other people were injured,” he added in a television speech.
Zelensky confirmed that Russia had resumed its missile strikes at 4 am on Friday, February 25, 2022, but that its forces were “prevented from advancing in most directions”.
He added that the Russian strikes aimed both with military and civilian targets, believing that “the sanctions imposed on Russia are not enough”. “The world continues to look at what is happening in Ukraine from afar,” he regretted.
