He announced this on Telegram, writes UNN.
My condolences to the relatives and loved ones. All victims and families who lost loved ones as a result of the Russian shelling will receive the necessary housing assistance in the near future; relevant programs are already in place.
Zelenskyy emphasized that this shelling was a demonstrative response from Russia to the world's attempts to end the war.
This shelling is a demonstrative Russian response to the world's attempts to end this war. The killing of children and destruction instead of diplomacy and peace. And there must be a world reaction to such a response: even more sanctions, even more opportunities for Ukraine to speak the language of force - the only one Russia understands. I thank all partners who help us in this.
The President thanked international partners who are helping Ukraine.
