Trudeau calls Russian strike on Dnipro a despicable attack, assures Ukraine of support

Trudeau said this on Twitter, Ukrinform reports.

"Russia's attacks on residential buildings in Dnipro, Ukraine are despicable, abhorrent, and completely unacceptable. Canada condemns this violence unequivocally – we stand with the people of Ukraine, and we'll continue to make sure they have the support they need," Trudeau wrote.

On January 14, an enemy missile hit a nine-story residential building in Dnipro, destroying two sections from the 9th to 2nd floor. Some 72 apartments were destroyed and more than 230 were damaged.

At least 21 people, including a child, were killed and 73 others, including 14 children, were injured in the attack. Thirty-eight people were rescued, including six children.

A three-day mourning for the victims was declared in Dnipro.
