He also accused Moscow of carrying out reckless shelling as its attack intensified.
“In Donbas, the occupiers are trying to increase pressure. There's hell, and that's not an exaggeration,” Zelenskyy said.
“The bombing and shelling of other cities, the air and missile strikes of the Russian army - all this is not just hostilities during the war,” Ukraine’s President said.
“This is a deliberate and criminal attempt to kill as many Ukrainians as possible. Destroy as many houses, social facilities, and enterprises as possible.”
