“This is a terror that aims solely to destroy lives, solely to intimidate people. The world knows that terror can be countered. The world has enough air defense systems, protection systems against “shaheeds” and missiles. And the delay in the supply of weapons to Ukraine and air defense to protect our people, unfortunately, leads to such losses, to the fact that the list of children whose lives are being taken by Russia is constantly growing.” ---- added Zelensky.
