Mr Zelenskyy stated that the Russian missile had deliberately hit this object. That was evidently the order.
“It is evident that Russian assassins were given such coordinates for the missile.
“They wanted as many people killed as possible in peaceful cities, in regular shopping malls.”
The president said that Russia would be responsible for the act of state terror, just like for all other terrorist acts.
“On the battlefield of Ukraine, through the strengthening of sanctions, and, of course in the tribunal.”
After the incident , at least 18 people were reported to have been killed and 36 others are still missing.
Russia claimed that the mall was empty and had hit an arms depot nearby.
However, wounded survivors such as Ludmyla Mykhailets (43), who claimed she was shopping at the store when the blast sent her “head first” into the air, refuted that assertion.
Sky News spoke with a man who sustained injuries and said that he would be fine physically but “morally stunned”.
