Russia has been continuing its attacks on Ukraine since February 2022. The Russian army targeted the Ukrainian city of Chernihiv with a missile.
In a statement from the Ukrainian State Emergency Service, it was announced that 11 people lost their lives and 22 were injured in the attack. It was noted that there are people trapped under the rubble and search and rescue operations are ongoing.
'DETERMINATION AND SUPPORT ARE IMPORTANT'
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed his condolences to the families of those who lost their lives in a statement.
Zelenskyy said, "Unfortunately, the death toll may rise. This would not have happened if Ukraine had received a sufficient number of air defense systems and if the world's determination to counter Russian terror had been sufficient. Terrorists can only destroy lives if they manage to intimidate those who can stop the terror and protect life.
Determination is important. Support is important. Ukraine's determination is sufficient. We need equally sufficient determination and, consequently, sufficient support from our partners," he stated.
