On the evening of September 9, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed his reaction to another tragedy caused by Russian aggression. An enemy-guided aerial bomb hit the village of Yarova in Donetsk region, where ordinary Ukrainians were receiving their pensions.



«The Russians definitely knew where they were hitting and clearly saw that they were hitting civilians. These were ordinary people who were receiving their pensions,» - said Zelensky.


Currently, 24 fatalities and 19 injuries have been reported. All victims are receiving necessary medical assistance. The President sharply criticized the insufficient international reaction to such Russian crimes.



«The Russians continue to kill, and it is horrifying that there is not enough strong reaction from global actors. This is precisely what Putin perceives as a permission to continue fighting,» - he emphasized.


In his address, the President also stressed the importance of strengthening air defense, expressed gratitude for the support, and called for a reaction from all countries of the world.



It should be noted that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reacted to the tragedy in Donetsk region, where Russian aviation attacked the peaceful population, demanding more attention to the civilian casualties of the conflict and support in strengthening the country's air defense.
