In the Odesa region, the dismantling of rubble after the Russian missile attack on Serhiivka is underway. This is a deliberate, purposeful Russian terror, not some mistakes or an accidental missile strike, as Volodymyr Zelenskyi said in his daily address on July 1st.
"Three missiles hit an ordinary residential building, a nine-story building in which no one hid any weapons, military equipment or ammunition, as Russian propagandists and officials always tell about such strikes. It was a simple house, about 160 people. It was inhabited by ordinary people, civilians. The recreation center was also destroyed by this strike - an absolutely typical object for the seaside area. I emphasize: this is a deliberate, purposeful Russian terror, not some mistakes or an accidental missile strike", the President emphasized.
According to Zelenskyi, the death toll of Serhiivka missile strike is increasing.
" Four people from one family were killed... The murdered boy, 12 years old, whose name was Dmytro... As of now, there are 21 people on the list of the dead, and about 40 are wounded. The numbers have been changing all day, unfortunately, the death toll is increasing....", he noted.
Zelenskyi also informed about other missile strikes in the southern part of Ukraine.
"Simultaneously with the missiles at Serhiivka, missiles were fired at Zatoka. 12 missiles hit Mykolaiv at once - various objects in the city. It's only one night and morning... My condolences to all relatives, loved ones of all whose lives were taken by such strikes", the President summarized.
