Quote: "There are currently more than a hundred Russian drones in our skies, and there may be more waves of drone attacks throughout the day. Russia continues its strikes and is doing so brazenly – deliberately targeting our railway infrastructure and civilian sites in our cities."

Details: Zelenskyy added that people are known to have been killed and injured in the Russian strikes.

According to the president, 14 oblasts had been attacked on 12 May. On the night of 12-13 May, Russian forces hit residential and railway infrastructure facilities in Dnipropetrovsk and Kharkiv oblasts, port infrastructure facilities in Odesa Oblast and energy infrastructure facilities in Poltava Oblast.

Zelenskyy called on Kyiv's partners to continue supporting Ukraine and not remain silent about Russia's war, saying that silence "encourages Russia to become even more savage".

Background:

  • Eight people were killed and 11 injured in Russian strikes on Dnipropetrovsk Oblast on the evening of 12 May.
  • On the morning of 13 May, the Ukrainian Air Force reported that Russian forces have attacked Ukraine with 139 drones of various types since the evening of 12 May. Ukrainian air defences have downed 111 of them, but hits by 20 UAVs have been recorded.
