Zelenskyy said Russian strikes overnight killed three people in the Zaporizhzhia region and one man in Kyiv. He said a data center in Kyiv was struck twice in the morning, with three people, including two children, injured in the first attack.
He said Ukraine was continuing to work with European countries, the United States, Canada, Japan, Australia and other partners to strengthen its air defenses and pursue diplomatic efforts to end the war.
