Zelenskyy: We’ll significantly respond to Russian army's terror with aerial bombs
Russia could not have been unaware that this nursing home for the elderly is not a military base, not a military target, Ukraine will definitely respond to this terror to the Russian army, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said.
“Rescue operations are currently underway in Sumy following a strike by a Russian bomb. It hit a nursing home for the elderly. According to current information, there were nearly 300 people in the building – over 200 patients and 60 staff members. The evacuation of people is ongoing, and it is being checked whether anyone remains trapped under the rubble,” he said in his evening video address on Thursday.
The President stressed that “Russia could not have been unaware that this nursing home for the elderly is not a military base, not a military target.”
The head of state noted that in just this one day alone – so far – Russian forces have already used nearly 90 guided aerial bombs targeting our cities and Ukrainian positions.
“We will definitely respond to the Russian army for this terror. In a tangible manner,” Zelenskyy stressed.
As reported, one person was killed and 13 received injuries of varying severity due to the impact of a guided aerial bomb by the Russian occupiers on the building of the Sumy geriatric boarding house for war and labor veterans.
