“Namuhla, iRussia ithe iyabonga ngokususwa kwezijeziso zokuthunyelwa kwedizili kwamanye amazwe ngokuphonsa amabhomu amahlanu acwebezelayo ezakhiweni zokuhlala eZaporizhzhia,” kusho uZelenskiy.
“Izolo ebusuku inikeze isiqinisekiso esengeziwe sokuthi iRussia ibona noma yikuphi ukuncipha kwengcindezi njengesignali yokuthi ingaqhubeka nokulwa, ukuthi ingaqhubeka nokuphonsa amabhomu emadolobheni.”

Idolobha laseZaporizhzhia eliseningizimu ye-Ukraine libe yindawo ehlaselwa njalo ngamabhomu aseRussia njengoba iziteleka ziqhubeka ziqina ezinyangeni ezimbalwa ezedlule.
