Russian missile strike ****** 41 people in Ukraine’s Poltava, Zelenskiy says

KYIV (Reuters) -At least 41 people were ******* and more than 180 wounded on Tuesday when Russia hit a military institute in the central town of Poltava, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said, in one of the deadliest single strikes of the war.

Zelenskiy said in a video that Russian forces struck with two ballistic missiles, damaging a building of the Military Institute of Communications.

He added that he had ordered a full and prompt investigation into the circumstances of the *******.

“The Russian ***** will definitely be held accountable for this strike,” Zelenskiy said on the Telegram messaging app.

He repeated his calls for more Western air defences and urged allies to allow their long-range weapons to be used for strikes deeper into Russian territory in order to protect Ukraine.

“We keep telling everyone in the world who has the power to stop this *******: air defence systems and missiles are needed in Ukraine, not in a warehouse somewhere.

“Long-range strikes that can protect us from Russian ******* are needed now, not some time later. Unfortunately, every day of delay means loss of life.”
