More than 20 civilians have been killed in a Russian airstrike on a village in Ukraine’s Donetsk region, Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said.
Following the latest attack, the Ukrainian president called for Kyiv’s allies to increase pressure on Moscow to end its war in Ukraine.
The bomb hit the village of Yarova in the Donetsk region, Mr Zelenskyy said in a post on Telegram.
“Frankly brutal,” he said of the attack, urging the international community to make Russia pay economically for its invasion through additional sanctions.
Mr Zelenskyy said the attack was “directly on people. Ordinary civilians”.
“The world must not remain silent,” he added. “The world must not remain idle. A response is needed from the United States. A response is needed from Europe. A response is needed from the G20.”
It comes as NATO chief Mark Rutte is today visiting the UK for talks on Ukraine, including a meeting of the Ukraine Defence Contact Group, which is a coalition of 56 nations providing support to Kyiv.
