Overnight in Odesa Region, Russian forces struck the international border crossing point “Starokozache” on the border with Moldova. Its operations were suspended. Two people were killed in the attack and three others were injured. Rescuers evacuated 16 people. Zelenskyy expressed his condolences to the families and loved ones of those killed.

The President stressed that the international community is not responding strongly enough to Russian strikes, which in effect claim people’s lives almost every day.
