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.

Previously, Zelensky said that Ukraine wants the war to end as soon as possible. Kyiv agreed to an unconditional ceasefire during talks in Saudi Arabia. The Russians have not yet agreed to this, but talks between the United States and Russia continue.

Earlier, Russia has rejected US proposals for a ceasefire in Ukraine, noting that they do not meet Moscow's basic demands.
