Zelenskyy: Russian Strike on Shopping Center in Kryvyi Rih Was a Cynical and Vicious Attack

Russian forces launched a "cynical and vicious" assault on a regular shopping center in Kryvyi Rih, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy declared.

Latest reports indicate that five individuals lost their lives and at least 52 others sustained injuries, including six children. All wounded persons are receiving the required medical care. "My sympathies to the families and loved ones of the victims. Such strikes are nothing more than acts of terror. The world must respond to them with the appropriate measures — imposing genuine pressure on the aggressor. For peace to be achievable, Russia must face real accountability," Zelenskyy stressed.
