Russia killed 12 Kyiv residents on April 24 with a ballistic missile from North Korea, most of the components of which were manufactured by American companies. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced this on the Telegram channel, Ukrainian News Agency reports.
Zelenskyy noted that on April 24, russians killed 12 Kyiv residents, almost 90 were injured, and more than 30 people remain in hospitals now, including those with very serious injuries and amputations.
"All the details of the missile are being clarified. But it is already clear that this is ballistics from North Korea. The lack of pressure on russia allows them to import such missiles and other weapons and use them here in Europe. The lack of pressure on North Korea and its accomplices allows them to produce, in particular, such ballistic missiles. The missile that killed the people of Kyiv contained at least 116 components imported from other countries, and most of them, unfortunately, were manufactured by American companies," he said.
Zelenskyy stressed that Ukraine insists that russia must immediately and unconditionally agree to a complete ceasefire.
He noted that Ukraine had already agreed to US President Donald Trump's proposal for silence in the sky, at sea and on the front 45 days ago, and proposed to make the silence complete and continue, which could have been established by Easter.
"We also made a direct offer to russia to stop strikes at least on civilian objects. Russia rejects all of this. That is why this cannot be resolved without pressure. Pressure is needed on russia. Stopping the killings is the first priority," Zelenskyy noted.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, April 25 was declared a Day of Mourning in Kyiv in memory of the victims of the massive attack by the aggressor country of russia on the capital on the night of April 24.
On Friday morning, April 25, rescuers completed search and rescue operations in a residential building destroyed by a russian missile in the Sviatoshynskyi district of Kyiv. The attack killed 12 people and injured another 87.
