Zelenskyy revealed the consequences of Russia's large-scale attack

As the head of state reported, he heard a report by the Minister of Internal Affairs Ihor Klymenko.

The Ukrainian leader officially confirmed that all search and rescue operations have been completed.

Unfortunately, as of now, 31 people are known to have died, including five children. The youngest child was only two years old. My condolences to the families and friends of the deceased. 159 people were injured, 16 of them children. Everyone is now receiving the necessary medical care. I thank the rescuers, police officers, doctors, nurses, utility workers — everyone who is helping people now. This is very important.

President of Ukraine

According to the head of state, this tragedy reminds the world that increased pressure on Russia, as well as powerful sanctions, are extremely important right now.

Despite the fact that official Moscow denies their effectiveness, they are working and must be stronger — hitting everything that allows such strikes to continue.

I thank everyone who has supported our people. We appreciate that President Trump, European leaders, and our other partners clearly see what is happening and condemn Russia.
