"This night, russian strikes on ordinary residential buildings in Zaporizhzhia killed at least 14 people. Unfortunately, this number could increase. The rubble is being cleared. More than 70 people were injured, including 11 children. All of them are being given proper care… It was a deliberate blow. The one who gave the order and those who carried it out, knew where they were hitting... There were also attacks on Kharkiv, the cities of Donbas and other cities of Ukraine... There were also strikes by Iranian drones and air strikes. The vast majority of them - on the civilian infrastructure of Ukraine and civilians... When someone wants negotiations, he does not do this. And when someone is a terrorist, he does just that...", - the head of state stressed.
