Details: According to updated information from medical facilities, on 3 March, 47 people were killed in a bombardment by Russian aircraft in Chernihiv: 38 men and 9 women. 18 people were rescued, according to the Regional State Administration.

Zelenskyy: "Citizens of Ukraine! The enemy has brought the vast majority of its troops to our territory. Almost the entire Russian army has been thrown against our people.

"But the heroic resistance of Ukrainians has been saving our country from this invasion for the ninth day. Ukrainian cities have not seen such inhuman cruelty since the Nazi occupation. Chernihiv, Okhtyrka, Kharkiv and Mariupol. Russians are deliberately destroying civilian infrastructure, destroying people, residential neighbourhoods. Just yesterday, Russian bombs killed 47 people in Chernihiv. Peaceful people.

Kharkiv is being destroyed by jet artillery and airstrikes. Russia is destroying Kharkiv. How did this happen? This morning in Zhytomyr, a rocket hit the school. It hit children. That is what reality becomes when ‘brotherly Russia’ visits."
