The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, reacted to the cynical attack of the occupiers on a residential building in Kharkiv. He noted that the partners see what is happening every day.
And in these conditions, each of their delayed decisions means at least dozens, if not hundreds of such Russian bombs against Ukraine. Their decisions are the lives of our people. Therefore, we must together stop Russia and do it with all possible force.
