Zelenskyy Slams Kharkiv Strike

War in Ukraine

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported Saturday that a Russian airstrike on Kharkiv killed one person and injured over 40 others, calling the attack on civilian infrastructure near a children's park a "terrorist attack."

“This is not a game,” Zelenskyy wrote on Telegram. “Every day, we lose our people because Russia feels impunity.”

He accused Russia of bringing "death and destruction" and avoiding peace talks, urging the international community to increase pressure on Moscow, CE Report quotes Anadolu Agency

Zelenskyy also noted the downing of a Russian Su-35 fighter jet and the destruction of three Iskander missile systems in recent days. Separately, Ukraine’s Southern Defense Forces said a strike destroyed 13 Russian tanks and over 100 vehicles on a military train.
