“It seems that the current enemy unites in evil all the previous enemies of our state. It works insidiously – killing civilians, hitting homes, infrastructure. Today, as a result of the invaders’ attack on a residential building in Kyiv, four people have already lost their lives. Among them was a young family who was pregnant. Search and rescue operations are still ongoing,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said earlier in a new Telegram message.
“Terror must lose and will lose, and Ukraine will prevail. And he will bring to justice every Russian terrorist – from commanders to private individuals who carried out criminal orders,” he concluded.
From the morning Russian attacks the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant plunged back into darkness while blackouts also occurred at 585 cities and villages throughout Ukraine.
