Zelenskyy vows response to deadly Russian multi-drone attack on shopping centre in central Ukraine
At least 15 people were killed and more than 130 wounded on Friday when several Russian drones struck a shopping centre in central Ukraine, authorities said, with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy promising a response to what he called an "act of barbarism."
Russian forces launched a "cynical and vicious" assault on a regular shopping center in Kryvyi Rih, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy declared. According to the Ukrainian leader, the attack was conducted in two waves via drones. A second wave struck emergency responders around 30 minutes after the initial impact, which triggered a fire.
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.
