At the same time, Andriy Yermak , head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, noted: “Zaporizhzhya. Also, the Russians’ ballistic missile strike on our city.

That is why Putin does not want to cease fire – he likes to shell peaceful cities and talk about the desire to end the war. So far, we do not see this desire,” he emphasized.
