‘An ordinary Saturday turned into a day of pain and loss’ — Zelenskyy on Russian strike on Chernihiv

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has responded to the abhorrent attack by Russian on Chernihiv city center in the afternoon of Aug. 19 in a video address.

“This is what a neighborhood with a terrorist state looks like, this is what we unite the whole world against,” the head of state wrote.

“A Russian missile hit right in the center of the city, in our Chernihiv.  A square, the polytechnic university, a theater.  An ordinary Saturday, which Russia turned into a day of pain and loss.”
