Zelenskyy said that Ukraine’s military used the artillery to destroy Russian forces’ depots and other logistically important targets.

“This significantly reduces the offensive potential of the Russian army. The losses of the occupiers will only increase every week, as will the difficulty of supplying them,” he said.

“This characterizes the Russian invasion with 100% accuracy. When it comes to the definition of barbarism, this strike fits the bill the most,” Zelenskyy said.
