President's Office reacts to shelling of Kryvyi Rih and names solutions to Russian attacks
Russia constantly shells peaceful cities in Ukraine, as it happened with Kryvyi Rih today. To stop the "genocidal routine" of Russia, Ukraine needs air defense, according to the adviser to the head of the Office of the President, Mykhailo Podoliak.
"This is some kind of genocidal practice... Kryvyi Rih. A Russian missile destroys another residential building. Fifty-three injured. Four dead. Among them, a 45-year-old woman and her 10-year-old daughter," he stated.
Podoliak noted that international law will never work if the aggressor does not see a real force standing behind it.
"Strength begins with closing the Ukrainian sky with missile defense systems," he added.
