KYIV - Russian missiles hit a medical clinic in the Ukrainian city of Dnipro, killing one, President Volodymyr Zelensky said, as Russia blamed Ukraine for dozens of strikes on its southern Belgorod region.
“We must defeat these inhumans irrevocably and as soon as possible. Because our time is our people. And our people are the most precious thing in Ukraine,” Mr Zelensky said in a statement. Russian forces earlier this week targeted Dnipro in a late night strike with 16 missiles and 20 attack drones. The announcement of the attack on Dnipro came as the governor of Russia’s Belgorod region, Mr Vyacheslav Gladkov, said at least five districts of his region had been repeatedly hit by Ukrainian forces over the last 24 hours.
The Kremlin on Friday however stopped short of confirming the transfer had begun, saying only Russia’s neighbour and ally was seeing “aggressive statements” from neighbouring countries.“Belarus is in a very, very hostile environment,” spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters. Mr Li’s visit to the Russian capital, where he is expected to meet Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Friday, comes after he met with Ukraine’s Mr Zelensky in Kyiv.
