Zelensky vows stronger defenses after deadly Donetsk attack
The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, emphasizes that Russia's objectives remain unchanged after the attack on Dobropole. He calls for strengthening air defense and tightening sanctions.
"Such strikes show that Russia’s goals are unchanged. Therefore, it is very important to continue to do everything to protect life, strengthen our air defense, and increase sanctions against Russia. Everything that helps Putin finance the war must be destroyed," Zelensky wrote.
A day of mourning in the Donetsk region
Yesterday evening, the Russian army launched an attack with two ballistic missiles on the center of Dobropole in the Donetsk region. "After our services arrived at the scene, they launched another strike, deliberately targeting rescuers. A vile and inhumane tactic for intimidation that the Russians often resort to," added the President of Ukraine.
As a result of the attack, 11 people were killed, and over 30 were injured, including five children. Eight five-story buildings, an administrative building, and a fire truck were damaged.
Local authorities declared a day of mourning in the Donetsk region after Russian troops killed 20 people in the past 24 hours. Three people were killed due to attacks on the Kharkiv region.
