Direct quote: "According to recent data, the Russians used a ballistic missile of North Korean origin. Our intelligence agencies are verifying all details. If it is confirmed that this missile was indeed produced in North Korea, it will serve as further evidence of the criminal partnership between Russia and Pyongyang. They are killing people and destroying lives together - that is the essence of their collaboration. Russia continuously employs such weapons as missiles and artillery. Meanwhile, Pyongyang gains the opportunity to make its weapons more lethal in real war conditions".

Details: The President reported that debris removal is ongoing in Kyiv following the missile strike.

He also stated that on Thursday alone, the Russian army used over 200 munitions against Ukrainians, including missiles and strike drones. Currently, more than 100 individuals have been injured, and 12 are confirmed dead.

Direct quote: "There needs to be real pressure on Russia to stop this. Even amidst international diplomatic efforts to end this war, Russia continues to kill civilians. This indicates that Putin is unafraid. A complete and unconditional cessation of strikes is needed, and Russia must agree to this. We must end this war fairly. To genuinely ensure the safety of our people, we need to strengthen our air defense".

Background: On the night of April 24, Ukraine was subjected to a massive combined attack from Russia. It is known that there are 12 fatalities due to the missile strike on Kyiv.
