Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has called the Russian strike on a shopping center in Kryvyi Rih an act of brutality and vowed that Ukraine would respond to the terror.
The head of state said this in his nightly video address, Ukrinform reports.
"An absolute Russian atrocity. They're just monsters. We will definitely respond. […] Eternal memory to all those killed by Russian terror," he said.
Zelensky said all necessary forces had been deployed to the rescue operation.
"Unfortunately, there are many casualties. It was an attack by several Russian drones – deliberate, despicable, one after another. As of now, 14 people have been reported killed. My condolences to their families and loved ones. More than 100 people have been injured – we know that among them are 11 children. Information is being gathered about everyone who may have been at this shopping mall," Zelensky said.
