Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelensky has accused Russian forces of “bestial savagery” as he shared a video showing the moment a missile blew up an apartment block in Zaporizhzhia earlier on Wedesday. In the video, a huge explosion can be seen erupting from an apartment block in the southern region, with subsequent footage showing dozens of civilians gathered outside multiple flats on fire.
In a statement on Telegram, Mr Zelensky said: “Zaporizhzhia. Right now, a Russian missile hit a multi-storey building. Russia is shelling the city with bestial savagery.
“Residential areas where ordinary people and children live are being fired at. The terrorist state seeks to destroy our cities, our state, our people.”
He added: “This must not become ‘just another day’ in Ukraine or anywhere else in Europe or the world.
“The world needs greater unity and determination to defeat Russian terror faster and protect lives.”
