Zelensky added that the rescue operation is ongoing. At least five buildings were damaged.
"Russian strikes occur every day. People die every day. There is only one reason why this continues: Russia doesn't want a ceasefire, and we see it. The whole world sees it. Each missile, every attack drone proves that Russia seeks only war. And only the world's pressure on Russia, all efforts to strengthen Ukraine, our air defense, and our forces — can determine when the war will end," Zelensky added.
