There are 64 people in hospitals in Kyiv, 28 hospitalised in Kryvyy Rih, 6 people in Dnipro," the Head of State said.

"We continue our work to increase the protection of our cities and communities from Russian terror. There will be solutions. The world has the necessary strength for this. I also thank all the leaders who have supported us and are preparing new joint steps to protect lives from Russian terror," Zelenskyy said.
