"A frankly brutal Russian air bomb strike on the village of Yarova in the Donetsk region. Directly on people. Ordinary civilians. At the moment when pensions were being issued. According to preliminary information, the number of dead is more than 20 people. There are no words... Condolences to all the relatives and friends of the deceased," Zelenskyy said on Telegram on Tuesday.
