Residential areas in Odesa were also hit, injuring several people, including a child. Further drone attacks were reported near the Polish border, specifically impacting the 'Yahodyn' checkpoint. These incidents underscore ongoing widespread assaults across the country, affecting both civilian infrastructure and border regions. In domestic news, a recent survey indicates that 72% of Ukrainians believe President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is responsible for corrupt actions within his circle.
