Speaking at a press conference with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz in Kyiv, relayed by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's own account in a post published on 4 October 2026 at 14:01 UTC, Zelenskyy said Russian forces had struck Ukrainian warehouses including Nova Poshta and Ukrposhta, then bridges, and were striking data centres, arguing these are not military infrastructure. He referred to Ukraine's earlier response against Wildberries, said Russia's approach was to escalate every single day, and said that ending the war would not happen simply by asking Putin. The post names no date, site or casualty for the warehouse, bridge or data-centre strikes, gives no location for the data centres, and was part 2 of 3 from the press conference; no official transcript was read.

Why it matters

Ukraine's president, at a joint press conference in Kyiv, characterised a strike pattern on civilian logistics, bridges and data centres and rejected the idea that the war would end simply by asking Putin.

Evidence: The Russians are escalating ... They struck our warehouses - Nova Poshta, Ukrposhta, and others ... Now they are striking bridges ... They are striking data centers ... From the press conference with Friedrich Merz. (2/3)

First-party account of Ukraine's president relaying his own press conference remarks, without an official transcript. The strike claims name no date, site, casualty or data-centre location, so they are recorded as his characterisation of a pattern rather than as separately verified incidents; the earlier Nova Poshta and Ukrposhta strikes are not dated in this post.
