President Volodymyr Zelensky reacted to the shelling. He emphasized that such attacks can only be stopped by putting enough pressure on Russia to force it to abandon the war.
"And this depends on partners – America, Europe, and the rest of the world. The only thing separating us from a complete and unconditional cessation of strikes is the lack of Russia's consent to stop the war," he explained.
