"We do not deserve this to be happening. We are a beautiful and wonderful nation, and we deserve to develop and live in our country with dignity. What is going on now is genocide against the Ukrainian people, against each Ukrainian family, to destroy the nation morally and physically. I really want this kind of thing never to happen anywhere in the world. And the promises of our partners, promises of our wonderful foreign friends, not to be only promises, but to be the help that we deserve."

"This so-called truce that was during Easter — it was just to accumulate strength, and you can see how many strikes there were today here and across Ukraine. I was sitting in the bomb shelter and seeing Shahed (drones), rockets flying from the Black Sea and from all other parts. This is not a random thing. Unfortunately, there’s no sign of a truce yet."

STORYLINE:
Rescue teams in Kyiv cleared rubble and recovered bodies Thursday after a major Russian strike on the Ukrainian capital with missiles and drones killed at least nine people and injured more than 70.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Thursday he is cutting short his official trip to South Africa and returning home following the bombardment.
The Russian attack on Kyiv came as weeks of peace negotiations appeared to be coming to a head without an agreement in sight and hours after U.S. President Donald Trump lashed out at Zelenskyy, accusing him of prolonging the “killing field” by refusing to surrender the Russia-occupied Crimea Peninsula as part of a possible deal.
Zelenskyy has repeated many times during the more than three-year war that recognizing occupied territory as Russian is a red line for his country.
He noted Thursday that Ukraine had agreed to a U.S. ceasefire proposal 44 days ago, as a first step to a negotiated peace, but that Russia’s attacks had continued.
