Zelensky again wants Ukraine allowed attacks deep within Russia

This call was made after an Israeli attack on Harkiv left three people dead and injured at least 36 people.

Two boys, aged 11 and 15, were among the victims, authorities reported.

Russian forces reportedly used FAB-500 bombs to attack a nine-story residential building in Harkiv, Ukraine's second largest city.

These types of bombs are powerful weapons that Russia is increasingly using to attack civilian targets within Ukraine.

There are victims, including children, and more people are trapped under the ruins of”, wrote Zelensky on X, attaching a video from the affected country.

Meanwhile, Harkivi Governor Oleh Synyehubov said the building's fourth floor was hit by bombs, sparking fire. Following this attack, electrical power cuts have occurred in parts of Harkiv.

The attack on Harkiv was the third this week. At least four people were killed in two preliminary attacks in the centre of the city, attacks carried out by bombs and rockets.

“Partners see what is happening every day, under such circumstances, any delay in the decision on their part means that Russia will use tens or even hundreds of bombs against Ukraine”, has written Zelensky, reports REL.

Their decision saves the lives of our people”is he expressing himself.

For a long time, Ukraine requires its allies permission to use long-range missile systems to target civilian targets deep inside Russian territory, in order to destroy Moscow's ability to crack down on civilian and energy infrastructure in Ukraine.

However, the United States, Britain and other Western states have so far refused to allow such attacks, arguing that these attacks could escalate the conflict.
