"During the past night, the russian army continued striking Ukrainian positions. As of 7 a.m., more than 140 attacks on frontline positions had already been recorded. The russians carried out 10 assault operations during the night, with the largest number in the Sloviansk direction. They also launched more than 850 drone strikes of various types: FPV, Lancet, and others. There were also strike drones. The use of reconnaissance drones in the skies over frontline communities also did not stop", - President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky stated on the morning of May 8.
He noted that all this clearly demonstrates that there was not even an imitation attempt from the russian side to cease fire at the front.
"As after the previous day, Ukraine will act symmetrically following today's events as well. We will defend our positions and the lives of our people. russia must end its war, and everyone will truly notice it when movement toward peace begins", - Zelensky noted.
