“All leaders, all international organizations must respond firmly to Russia’s actions,” said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in a traditional address to the Ukrainian nation on March 3.
Dear Ukrainians!
Today, rescue operations continued throughout the day in Odesa, at the site of the “Shahed” hitting the house.
The bodies of children were taken out of the rubble. As of now, twelve people have been reported dead, including five children. My condolences to the families and friends.
Five people were rescued. The State Emergency Service of Ukraine, the police, psychologists, and utility workers were all on the scene. I am grateful to all the people who helped.
Today, Russian murderers struck the town of Kurakhove in Donetsk region. With a guided aerial bomb that hit the roof of one of the houses. Without any other purpose than terror. At least 16 people were wounded, all of them are being provided with the necessary assistance.
And these are just two such strikes.
In total, since the beginning of this week alone, Russian terrorists have already used nearly 400 guided aerial bombs, more than 50 “Shahed” drones and more than 40 missiles.
No country in Europe could have withstood such pressure and evil alone. And that is why it is important that we all stand together now – everyone who values life and who does not want this terror to reach other nations.
All leaders and international organizations must respond to Russia’s actions. And the response must be tough. Putin does not want any peace – he only wants war and death. He does not care whom he kills. The main goal is to destroy. First, Ukraine and Ukrainians. And then you, dear partners.
