This was reported by President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy. His statement was also distributed by the State Emergency Service.

According to local media, the supermarket "Tavria V" in the village of Mayaky, Odesa region, was hit. The Russian drone struck directly into the building of the retail establishment, after which a fire broke out.

According to Zelenskyy, Russian troops continue to strike civilian facilities, including residential buildings, stores, and energy infrastructure.

The president emphasized the need to strengthen Ukraine's air defense to counter Russian drones, particularly reactive modifications of "Shaheds."

Separately, Zelenskyy criticized signals from the United States regarding a possible further easing of sanctions against Russia. In his opinion, such steps could encourage Moscow to continue strikes and provide it with additional revenues to wage war.

The head of state called on international partners to maintain sanctions pressure on Russia and increase support for Ukraine.
