Zelensky on strike on Kryvyi Rih: Russia continues killing Ukrainians after partial three-day silence

President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that two elderly people were killed in a Russian drone strike on a residential building in Kryvyi Rih, while their nine-month-old granddaughter suffered severe injuries.

According to Ukrinform, Zelensky wrote this on Telegram.

"A cynical Russian drone strike targeted an ordinary residential building in Kryvyi Rih, with no military purpose whatsoever. As of now, two older people have been reported killed. Their 9-month-old granddaughter is in hospital with serious injuries. Our doctors are doing everything they can to save her life," the President said.

According to Zelensky, Russia continues shelling Ukrainian cities after the end of the so-called partial three-day silence, and Russian attacks against civilians demonstrate the need for further strengthening of international pressure on the aggressor state.

"Only firm joint pressure and the strengthening of Ukraine, including the reinforcement of our air defense, can compel the aggressor to diplomacy for a reliable peace and an end to the killings," the head of state emphasized.

As Ukrinform reported, a Russian attack struck a residential building in Kryvyi Rih, Dnipropetrovsk region, causing deaths and injuries.
