This vile strike on a building in the middle of the night took the lives of 23 civilians. My condolences to the relatives and friends. All victims continue to be helped," Zelenskyy wrote on his Telegram channel on Thursday.
The president emphasized that this shelling is a reminder to the world that Russia rejects the ceasefire and chooses murder.
"I am grateful to all our partners who understand: Ukraine must become stronger every day. I am grateful to everyone who is ready to put pressure on Moscow so that they feel the real price of war," he added.
According to the presidential press service, the head of Kyiv City Military Administration, Timur Tkachenko, informed Zelenskyy that more than 1,000 people have turned to the district headquarters for help, and they are being provided with all the necessary assistance.
