Volodymyr Zelenskyy: “This was a demonstrative and cynical Russian strike.”

The land is very important. It's our territory. It's our history. It's about our houses. But the most important [thing is] not to lose people.

Right now, Russia's tactic is to wear down Ukraine and Ukrainians — first and foremost, our people.

I hope that I will get it. This is for me is a big challenge, one of the biggest I had from the very beginning of this war.

We will definitely respond to this Russian strike.
