Reaction of Volodymyr Zelenskyy

According to the president of Ukraine, with every such strike, Russia once again proves that strong pressure is necessary.

“They prove that global sanctions against Russia must become much more painful for the aggressor. And that together in Europe we must build a reliable defense against Russian drones and missiles, so that no country faces this threat alone. Joint action is needed. Only through strong and united action can we defeat these terrorists. Russia must be held accountable for what it is doing,” Zelenskyy wrote.
