President #Zelenskyy

💬 "A united Europe can create a defense capability that will destroy russia's illusion that war with Europe could bring it anything. To kill that illusion faster, we must take away russia's ability to wage war against #Ukraine with impunity. It's better to hold russia back where it's already stuck."

Extract
Particular attention was paid to the Sumy region, to operations in the border areas. I am grateful to our units for their resilience.

President #Zelenskyy

💬 "This morning, I visited a russian missile strike on a residential building in Kyiv. The missile tore through every floor, reaching the basement. Twenty-three lives were lost in this single attack. My heart goes out to their families and loved ones.

The rescue operation lasted nearly 40 hours, with relentless efforts to save lives from the rubble. In total, tussia's massive strike on #Ukraine resulted in 30 deaths and 172 injuries. This attack had no military justification.

President #Zelenskyy visited the #Kyiv apartment block destroyed by a russian strike, paying tribute to the victims and honouring their memory.

He called the attack a reminder to the world that russia is not seeking a ceasefire, but rather choosing terror.
