Quote from Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko: "The death toll from the Russian strikes on Zaporizhzhia has risen to four. A further 18 people have been injured. Emergency workers rescued two children and a woman who had been injured in the attack from under the rubble.

The woman lived on the second floor of the building [which was badly damaged in the bombardment], and after it collapsed, she ended up on the first floor."

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has reacted to the attack on Zaporizhzhia, stressing that "each of these Russian attacks not only kills people and devastates lives but also obliterates the sense of any words about the lack of conversations with Russia or calls to the Kremlin".

Quote from Zelenskyy: "They [the Russians] take pleasure in killing people. That's why true protection of life means air defence for Ukraine, the capability to destroy Russian military aircraft, and permission for Ukraine to carry out long-range strikes against the occupier.

I am deeply grateful to everyone in the world who is helping us in these efforts."
