At least 8 people, including a child, were killed in another massive Russian strike on Ukraine, Ukrainian President says Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Also, according to him, there may still be people under the rubble. There are dozens of victims.

"Today's Russian missiles and strike drones are a clear response to everyone in the world who has been calling for weeks and months for a ceasefire and real diplomacy. Russia is choosing ballistics over the negotiating table," he added in Telegram.

Zelensky stressed that Russia is taking advantage of the fact that"part of the world" is turning a blind eye to the murdered children. Therefore, he expects a reaction, in particular, from China, to what is happening. After all, it is China that has repeatedly called for"non-expansion of the war and a ceasefire."

The President of Ukraine also wants to see Hungary's reaction."The death of children should evoke much stronger emotions than anything else. We expect a reaction from everyone in the world who called for peace, but now is more often silent than taking principled positions," the Ukrainian leader noted.

And he concluded that the time has come to introduce new and tougher sanctions against Russia, because"all deadlines have already been missed" and dozens of opportunities for diplomacy have been ruined.
