“Russia dealt another brutal blow to our Kharkiv – to the construction hypermarket – on Saturday, just in the middle of the day. As of now, it is known that more than 200 people could be in the hypermarket. All services already provide assistance on the spot – they save people and eliminate the fire that completely covered the premises, 10 thousand square meters. It is known about the dead and wounded.
If Ukraine had enough air defense and modern combat aviation, such Russian strikes would become simply impossible. And that is why we appeal to all leaders, to all states: we need a significant strengthening of air defense and enough opportunities to destroy Russian terrorists. A task that needs to be completed and can only be done together with the world. Every day we call on the world: give us air defense, save people. Every unmade decision to support is the loss of our people.” 17:12 President Zelenskyy, 25 May 2024: https://t.me/s/V_Zelenskiy_official
