More than 40 killed, 180 injured in Russian strike on Ukraine

At least 41 people were killed and more than 180 injured Tuesday in a Russian missile strike on central Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.

 

"People found themselves under the rubble. Many were saved."

 

He added "all necessary services are involved in the rescue operation" and ordered "a full and prompt investigation" into the strike.

 

Zelenksyy did not provide any further details, but continued to say that "the Russian scum will definitely be held accountable for this strike" before repeating calls for more weapons from the West.

 

"We keep telling everyone in the world who has the power to stop this terror: air defence systems and missiles are needed in Ukraine, not in a warehouse somewhere," he said.
