According to Zelensky, Russia continues shelling Ukrainian cities after the end of the so-called partial three-day silence, and Russian attacks against civilians demonstrate the need for further strengthening of international pressure on the aggressor state.

"Only firm joint pressure and the strengthening of Ukraine, including the reinforcement of our air defense, can compel the aggressor to diplomacy for a reliable peace and an end to the killings," the head of state emphasized.

As Ukrinform reported, a Russian attack struck a residential building in Kryvyi Rih, Dnipropetrovsk region, causing deaths and injuries.
