Statements by Russian troops that civilian targets are not their target are a lie, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said in his address published early on Friday.

"The second morning of a large-scale war. At four o'clock Russian forces continued to launch missile strikes on Ukrainian territory. They say that civilian objects are not allegedly a target for them, but it is a lie. In fact, they do not distinguish in which areas to operate. As was the case yesterday, the military and civilians are under Russian attack," Zelensky said.

He noted that the purpose of this attack is to put pressure on society. Zelensky stressed that this was pressure not only on the Ukrainian government, but on all Ukrainians. According to him, today it is felt more than yesterday.

The head of the aggressor country, Vladimir Putin, on February 24 announced the launch of a special military operation in the Donbas. Russia started a war against Ukraine at about 04:00 on February 24.

Martial law has been imposed in Ukraine.
