Russians shelled the village of Robotyne in Zaporizhzhia region when President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was visiting the area, states the presidential press secretary Serhiy Nykyforov.

"This is Robotyne, and there are active hostilities there. That's why there were relatively close strikes. But I would not dramatize the situation," Nykyforov said.
