Zelensky on strikes on Zaporizhzhia, Kryvyi Rih: Russia's words mean nothing
This was reported on the official Telegram channel of the President of Ukraine, according to Ukrinform.
"Russia's words mean nothing, but its bombs and missiles speak volumes. On the evening of St. Nicholas Day, aerial bombs in Zaporizhzhia hit a service station directly, cars with people inside. As of now, four people are known to be wounded and are receiving medical assistance. Tragically, the list of fatalities includes nine names. In Kryvyi Rih, a missile strike targeted an ordinary city building, injuring 17 people and killing two. And these are just two Russian attacks on two Ukrainian cities in a single day," the head of state noted.
The President emphasized that thousands of such strikes Russia has carried out since the beginning of its full-scale invasion make it absolutely clear: Putin seeks violence, not peace.
"Putin does not seek real peace — he seeks the ability to treat any country this way, with bombs, missiles, and all other forms of violence. Only through strength can we resist this. And only through strength can real peace be established," Zelensky stressed.
