Three children killed in Pryluky were just one year old – Zelenskyy
One-year-old Oleksandr, Kyrylo and Serhii, as well as eight-year-old Maksym, were killed in a Russian strike on a residential building in Pryluky, Chernihiv region.
This was reported by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, according to Censor.NET.
Victims and wounded
Zelenskyy said rubble was still being cleared at the site of the Russian missile strike on a residential building in Pryluky.
"So far, 18 people are known to have been killed, and four of them are children: Oleksandr, Kyrylo and Serhii, who were just one year old each, and eight-year-old Maksym. My condolences to all their relatives and loved ones. Dozens of people are wounded, including seven children. All emergency services have been deployed and are working at the scene. Fifteen people were rescued, including one child. There are people who have yet to make contact," the head of state said.
The president stressed that the Russians know full well that they are striking ordinary cities and everyday life.
"And continuing to use missiles against Ukraine, against our people, our children, is an entirely deliberate choice of terror. This is precisely what Moscow is choosing despite all our efforts with our partners to bring peace closer," Zelenskyy said.
He called on international partners to increase pressure on Moscow and strengthen defence support for Ukraine.
"It is important that leaders understand this. It is important that the world does not remain silent today," the president added.
