Attack on Kharkiv on August 30 – Zelensky’s reaction
In connection with Russia’s attack on Kharkiv, President Volodymyr Zelensky called on partners to stop terrorism by providing Ukraine with long-range capabilities:
“The Russian strike on Kharkov is simply against people, against ordinary houses… This strike is by a Russian guided air bomb. A strike that would not have happened if our Defense Forces had the ability to destroy Russian military aviation where it is based. We need strong decisions from our partners to stop this terror. This is an absolutely fair need.”
