The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, condemned the airstrike by Russian forces on a boarding school in the city of Sudzha, Kursk region (RF), which resulted in up to 100 elderly individuals being trapped under the rubble while preparing for evacuation.
“This is how Russia fights. Sudzha city, Kursk region, Russian territory. A boarding school with civilians who were getting ready for evacuation. A Russian bomb. They destroyed the building despite the presence of dozens of civilians. Russia fought this way decades ago against Chechnya. They killed Syrians in the same manner. Russian bombs are demolishing Ukrainian homes. Even against their own civilians, the Russian army employs similar tactics,” - wrote the head of state on the social media platform X.
Zelensky emphasized that the Russian Federation is “a state devoid of civilization.”
“This is evil that will not stop on its own. But if we act firmly and decisively, even Russia can be made to halt. This must be done to protect the world from Russian bombs,” - the president stressed.
As reported, Russian forces struck a boarding school in Sudzha, where elderly individuals were housed, with 95 people trapped under the debris.
“From under the rubble, moans and cries of people can be heard. I remind you that among these individuals, most are elderly and bedridden. The military command is currently conducting search and rescue operations,” - reported Alexey Dmitrashkovsky, a press officer from the temporary military command in the RF territory.
