President Volodymyr Zelensky said this in his daily video address to the nation, Ukrinform reports.
“The Russian missile against Altair in Druzhkivka is another confession of the terrorist state. It is a confession of what it came to Donbas with and what we will definitely oust from there. Death will not prevail in Donbas, and we must do everything to throw out its tricolor from Donbas and other lands of Ukraine,” Zelensky said.
He reminded that the ice arena - Altair - started working before the war, when Donbas had a normal life before Russia came. Children trained there. There was a children's sports school.
“People played sports there, celebrated and just enjoyed life. Kramatorsk, Slovyansk, Kostyantynivka, Bakhmut, Pokrovsk, Donetsk, Toretsk and other cities and villages of Donbas - everyone knew what kind of arena it was, and many people visited it. Last year it was used to collect and distribute humanitarian aid,” Zelensky said.
As reported by Ukrinform, the Altair ice arena was destroyed, a bus station, a church, and buildings of the MAN Hotel were damaged in the Russian attack on Druzhkivka.
