Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy addressed the recent Russian attack that killed dozens of people in a Ukrainian village in a speech Thursday, when he excoriated Russia for hitting civilian locations.
Zelenskyy spoke in Spain on Thursday about the bombing of the village of Hroza in the Kharkiv region that killed at least 52 people.
"Today, Russian terrorists launched an attack that one can't even call beastly. Because it would be an insult to beasts. A deliberate missile strike on a village in Kharkiv region, targeting a regular grocery store and a cafe," Zelenskyy said on Thursday.
He continued, "Russian military personnel couldn't have been unaware of where they were striking. It was not a blind attack. People had gathered there for a memorial meal, a Christian memorial meal. Who could launch a missile at them? Who? Only absolute evil."

"Russian terror must be defeated. And the world has the means to ensure this. The key is unity. The key is believing in freedom and protecting lives," said Zelenskyy.
