Russian shelling hits Lviv, Sumy and Chernihiv regions: Zelenskyy

Zelenskyy has said Russian missiles struck the regions of Lviv, Sumy and Chernihiv on Tuesday.

Russian forces had also carried out air raids in the Luhansk region, in the east of the country, Zelenskyy said in a late-night video address.

He said the attacks were Russia’s attempt to “compensate” for failures in the east and south of the country.

“They cannot demonstrate success with general military action in the areas where they are trying to advance. So they are trying to show success through their missiles and other activities,” Zelenskyy added.
