Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Saturday that Russia shelled 10 regions in Ukraine in the last 24 hours.
Zelenskyy promised "fair punishment" and said: "You will definitely have to answer. For every destroyed life. For every missile fired at Ukraine," he wrote in a post on Telegram.
In a separate statement, Zelenskyy said Ukraine uses "every day and every week" to strengthen its defenses on the frontlines and its international position in the global arena to increase pressure on Russia.
Russia started its "special military operation" in Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022. In response, the West imposed 13,596 sanctions against Moscow and began arms supplies to Ukraine.
