Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy yesterday called for Moscow to be punished after laying red roses at the rubble of a Kyiv apartment building where a Russian missile strike killed 24 people, including three children.Rescue workers ended search operations at the devastated building, which was struck this week during Russia’s heaviest air attack on the Ukrainian capital this year.“Our first responders ... worked non-stop for more than a day,” Zelenskiy said on the Telegram app after visiting the site of the attack in Kyiv’s Darnytskyi District, on the left bank of the Dnipro River, placing flowers and talking to rescue workers.
