Zelenskyy and Greek Prime Minister arrive in Odesa: number of casualties and President’s reaction
On the morning of March 6, Russia once again attacked Odesa, resulting in deaths and injuries. Another act of terrorism by the Russian Federation claimed the lives of five people.
– We saw this attack today. You can see who we are dealing with, they don’t care where they strike. I know that there were victims today, I don’t know all the details yet, but I know that there are dead and wounded,” said President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy during his visit to Odesa.
Dmytro Pletenchuk, a spokesman for the Ukrainian Navy Command, confirmed the death toll to Fakty. According to him, the number of victims is five.
The Head of State noted that the aggressor country does not care whether it hits the military or civilians, so Ukraine needs an air defense system to protect itself.
– These are military, civilians, international guests – these people do not care. They are either crazy or completely out of control of what their terrorist army is doing. This shows that we need to defend ourselves first and foremost. The best way to do this is through an air defense system,” Zelenskyy said.
