President’s Office: Strike on Dnipropetrovsk region, killing a child, is terrorist act

Head of the President's Office Andriy Yermak called the strike on Zelenodolsk community of Dnipropetrovsk region, in which a 10-year-old child was killed, yet another terrorist attack committed by the Russian Federation.

"Zelenodolsk in Dnipropetrovsk region. Yet another Russian terrorist attack. A 10-year-old boy was killed in shelling. Russians are criminals and cowards. Historically, they have always been like that. But Ukraine will hold not only those, who gave orders and carried them out, but also several generations of Russians to account for every crime. They will not get away with crimes against our people," Yermak posted on Telegram.

As reported, on September 3, the Russian military struck the town of Zelenodolsk with MLRS using banned cluster munitions. As a result of the shelling, a boy was killed and ten local residents were injured.

The law enforcement officers opened criminal proceedings over the violation of the laws and customs of war, combined with intentional murder (Part 2 of Article 438 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).
