"We are meticulously clarifying exactly what weapons – what missiles and drones – the Russians used this time. In Kyiv, according to preliminary data, a house was hit by an X-101 missile. Manufactured in the second quarter of this year. And this means that Russia is still importing components for missile production, necessary resources and equipment, circumventing global sanctions," Zelenskyy said.
He emphasized that stopping Russian sanction circumvention schemes must be a real goal for all partners.
"We are preparing steps that can activate our common counteraction: sanctions must be more painful for Russia," the Ukrainian president noted.
Meanwhile, the number of victims of today's Russian strike on Kyiv has risen to 12 people.
