Russia continues its missile terror against civilians in Zaporizhzhia. 12 strikes on residential areas overnight, at least 12 killed and many more wounded. We urgently need more modern air and missile defense systems to save innocent lives. I urge partners to speed up deliveries. pic.twitter.com/nnUT4Lu32d

Last night Russia fired over 20 missiles on residential areas in #Zaporizhzhia, which killed at least 13 people, injured 60, incl 6 children. These areas have no military purpose. The only goal of 🇷🇺 was to cause death & destruction, sow terror & fear.

We will never recognize any of the Kremlin’s claims to sovereignty over parts of Ukraine that it seized by force and now purports to incorporate into Russia. Read how countries worldwide rejected President Putin’s attempts to annex Ukrainian territories. https://t.co/ImJbP416DV

Meanwhile on Russian state TV, they're drawing parallels between the Crimean bridge, the warship Moskva and Putin, as Russia's main symbols. They must have forgotten their own lies about Moskva. People are being urged to unite around Putin and march into battle when called. pic.twitter.com/KaHrTD75eP
