Zelensky laments destruction in Ukrainian city of Kherson
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Thursday lamented the destruction caused in the port city of Kherson by Russian bombing.
Russian strikes had destroyed the regional administration building, Zelensky said in his nightly address.
"It's not the first time they've attacked this building, but today's strike was clearly demonstrative. There was no military logic behind it whatsoever."
Moscow was "obsessed with war, consumed by hatred and the desire to destroy the lives of other nations," Zelensky said.
"You can only defeat such ones with force – the force of diplomacy, sanctions, weapons and technology."
According to local reports, three glide bombs hit the building in two attacks, and a fourth hit a multi-storey residential building. Despite the severe damage, only one person was initially reported injured.
Zelensky said there were also strikes on Kharkiv, on the Sumy and Donetsk regions, Nikopol, and in the Zaporizhzhya region.
"This is the daily reality of what the Russians, unfortunately, are allowed to do. The world, unfortunately, is allowing them to do it."
