As of today, Ukraine has done the maximum that is possible, and we are continuing this work. Today, a special meeting of the UN Security Council has already been convened, where we were able to present what happened yesterday. We were able to highlight this, to tell about the attack that was carried out not only against Okhmatdyt, but also against a residential building where an entire entrance was destroyed, where as many as 4 children died, and another child may be under the rubble. The world needs to know about this. It needs to understand what was happening
She added that work is still underway to clear the rubble from the hit to the residential building.
"It has already been discovered that an entire family was killed - a mother with two children. And another family where two children died and the mother is in the hospital. Another child, a girl, is being searched for. We hope she will be safe. Not under the rubble, but we are still searching and work is still underway there," Gerasymchuk added.
