The war was brought from Russia, and it is where it must be pushed back. The aggressor state must be forced into peace and pressured until security is restored.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated this in his evening video address, Ukrinform reports.
“The rescue operation in Sumy is still ongoing, with all services involved — the State Emergency Service of Ukraine, the National Police, medical teams, and our utility workers. There are many victims — so far, nearly 90 people have been reported injured, including 17 children,” Zelensky said.
The president recalled that the strike hit a school and residential buildings. “Fortunately, the children at the school were in a shelter,” he said.
Zelensky expressed his gratitude to everyone assisting the victims and saving Ukrainian lives.
“Every such day, every night under Russian missiles and drones, every day of this war means losses, pain, destruction — things Ukraine never wanted. The war was brought from Russia, and it is Russia where the war must be pushed back. They must be forced into peace, they must be pressured until security is achieved,” Zelensky said.
On March 24, Russian forces struck the center of Sumy, causing destruction. The number of injured has risen to 88, including 17 children.
