Russia attacks in Ukraine war: Odessa under fire during Zelensky's visit
First report from March 7th:
Odessa - After the recent Russian rocket attack on the southern Ukrainian port city of Odessa with several deaths, President Volodymyr Zelenskyj has again insisted on more air defense support.
“We need more protection,” said Zelenskyj in his evening video speech.
During the attack in the morning, Zelenskyj had just led Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis through the metropolis on the Black Sea.
“The world has enough air defense systems and capacities to produce weapons for defense,” Zelensky emphasized.
The president and the Greek head of government are well, but according to initial findings by Ukrainian investigators, at least five people were killed in the shelling.
Mitsotakis later expressed his dismay at the incident.
It was the first time in more than two years of the Ukraine war that Zelensky and a foreign guest were so affected by Russian fire.
