Amidst the ongoing war between Ukraine and Russia, the President of Ukraine has once again been attacked. The President of Russia was also with him at the time of this attack.
According to reports, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has been fatally attacked by a Russian missile. The attack occurred while he was with Greek PM Kyriakos Mistoutakis at the Black Sea port of Odessa.
Zelensky narrowly escaped this attack. He said he was so close to the missile that he saw it and heard its sound. There is news of many people being killed in this attack. Apart from this, many people have also been injured.
Zelensky said, we need to defend ourselves first. The best way to do this is with a strong air defense system.
Let us tell you that there is a war going on between Russia and Ukraine for more than two years. Russia has targeted Odessa several times before. Earlier on Sunday, Russia had wreaked havoc with drones in Odessa. Seven people, including a two-year-old child, died, while eight people, including a three-year-old girl, were injured.
Ukrainian President Zelensky said the attack was carried out using a Shahid drone supplied by Iran. He said the attack had no military significance and was only intended to kill people. Zelensky said the attack could have been avoided if Ukraine had not been facing delays in arms supplies.
