Zelenskyy: for 2023, the Russians have already fired 40 missiles at Kharkiv — the evening address

The president mentioned all the regions that suffered from Russian shelling.

"Russia has become synonymous with terror and will become an example of defeat and fair punishment for this terror," Zelenskyy said.

The President thanked the 92nd Separate Mechanized, 80th Separate Assault and 5th Separate Assault Brigades defending Bakhmut.

In addition, Volodymyr Zelenskyy commented on the sanctions imposed on bookmakers the day before. He stated that these organisations were withdrawing money for Russia.
