In Kyiv, the Russians practically demolished an entire entrance of a building with their missile, and such a Russia can never be normalized; pressure must be applied, and anti-ballistic defenses are always needed.

Our rescuers from the State Emergency Service of Ukraine worked continuously for over a day. The Russians practically demolished an entire entrance with their missile. 24 people were killed by this strike, including three children. My condolences to the families and loved ones," Zelenskyy wrote on social media.
The President emphasized that all those who were injured and lost their homes must be provided with the necessary assistance. "In total, 48 people were injured in Kyiv due to yesterday's attack, including two children. I thank the State Emergency Service, the National Police, and everyone who liquidated the consequences of this Russian attack and helped people," he noted.
Such a Russia can never be normalized. A Russia that purposefully destroys lives and hopes to remain unpunished. Pressure must be applied
The President pointed out: "It is Ukraine that protects Europe and the world so that such strikes, where children die, do not spread further."
"Therefore, support for the defenders of life must continue. Anti-ballistic defenses are always needed.
