"As of now, 14 deaths have been reported, including 6 children. My condolences to the families and loved ones. The rescue operation is ongoing. At least 5 buildings have been damaged," he emphasized.

The head of state reminded that there is only one reason why peaceful Ukrainians die from such attacks every day — Russia does not want a ceasefire.

"Every missile, every strike drone proves that Russia only wants war. And only through global pressure on Russia, through all efforts to strengthen Ukraine, our air defense, and our forces — only from this will depend when the war ends," Zelenskyy pointed out.

He emphasized that the US, Europe, and all other countries in the world can make Russia abandon terror and war. And this must be ensured.
