Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky accused Russia of turning the eastern Donbass region into "hell".
In his overnight message, the Ukrainian president said that in the region "the occupiers are trying to increase the pressure. It is hell and it is not an exaggeration".
There are "constant attacks on the Odessa region, on the cities of central Ukraine. The Donbass is completely destroyed," he said.
"All this has and cannot have any military explanation for Russia", he added: "This is a deliberate and criminal attempt to kill as many Ukrainians as possible."
Russian missiles hit the village of Desna last night - in northern Ukraine, near the border with Belarus - causing "many deaths", Zelensky added, according to CNN.
"The first trial in Ukraine against a Russian war criminal has already begun - said the Ukrainian president -. And it will end with the full restoration of justice in the international court. I am sure of it. We will find and bring all those to justice. who give and carry out criminal orders ".
