"Chernihiv. A rescue operation is underway after a Russian missile attack. People are under the rubble. As of this time, we know about 20 injured and 10 dead. My condolences to the relatives and friends. Unfortunately, the number of dead may increase. And this would not have happened if Ukraine had received air defense means sufficient and if the world's determination to counter Russian terror was also sufficient," the head of state said.
"Terrorists are able to break lives only when they first manage to intimidate those who are able to stop terror and protect life. Determination matters. Support matters. Ukrainian determination is enough. We need sufficient determination from partners and sufficient support that will reflect it," Zelenskyy adds.
