In the Ukrainian town of Poltava, a Russian attack using two ballistic missiles hit a military school, causing a tragic loss of life. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported that at least 41 people died, and over 180 were injured in this strike, marking one of the war’s most deadly single attacks.
The missiles damaged part of the Military Institute of Communications. President Zelenskyy has called for a quick and thorough investigation into what happened. He’s also urging the world to provide Ukraine with more defense systems to prevent such attacks in the future.

“The Russian scum will definitely be held accountable for this strike,” Zelenskyy said on the Telegram messaging app.
President Zelenskyy again asked for more air defense systems from Western countries. He also wants permission to use their long-range weapons to hit targets further inside Russia, believing this would help defend Ukraine better.

“We keep telling everyone in the world who has the power to stop this terror: air defense systems and missiles are needed in Ukraine, not in a warehouse somewhere.
“Long-range strikes that can protect us from Russian terror are needed now, not some time later. Unfortunately, every day of delay means loss of life.”
