"The Russian scum will definitely be held accountable for this strike. Over and over again, we tell everyone in the world who has the power to stop this terror: air defense systems and missiles are needed in Ukraine, not in a warehouse somewhere. Long-range strikes that can defend against Russian terror are needed now, not sometime later. Every day of delay means the death of people," Zelensky said in a video address.
