“Every day Russia kills civilian residents, kills Ukrainian children, directs rockets at civilian objects where there are no military objects,” Zelensky wrote on Facebook, also posting footage from the centre of Vinnytsia.
“This is nothing but an act of terrorism. They are not humans. This is a killer state. A terrorist state,” Zelensky stressed.
The death toll from a Russian airstrike on the centre of Vinnytsia in central Ukraine has risen to at least 12; at least 25 people are injured, the State Emergency Service of Ukraine (DSNS) reported. Earlier it was reported that two were killed, including a young child.
