"There are casualties. They are receiving medical help. As of now, we know that the lives of four people were tragically taken by this strike. All the victims are civilians. My condolences to their families and loved ones," Zelenskyy added.

He noted that such strikes are acts of terror, and they can only be stopped by sufficient pressure on Russia to force it to end the war and terror.

"This depends on our partners - on America, Europe, and others around the world. What separates us from a complete and unconditional cessation of strikes is the lack of agreement from Russia to end the war. Only global pressure can ensure such an agreement," the president reminded.

He also added that Ukraine needs enough air defense systems and missiles for them. This is the only way to protect Ukrainians from Russian terror.
