Volodymyr Zelenskyy
President of Ukraine
The Head of State once again expressed gratitude to rescuers, police officers, doctors and nurses, all utility and emergency services, and everyone involved in helping people.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy also reminded the international community that Russia must be held responsible for this strike, as well as for all other strikes against our state.
When Russia chooses ballistics instead of diplomacy, continues to modernize "shaheeds" for assassinations, and develops interaction with entities like North Korea, it means that the world must react accordingly. Strong sanctions, strong pressure, strong steps are needed so that the murderers do not feel impunity, Zelensky said.
