Quote from Zelenskyy: "There were around 1,000 people there before the air raid siren was sounded. Fortunately, as far as we know, many people were able to evacuate and were evacuated in time. But the staff and some visitors remained inside."

Details: Zelenskyy said that the attack on the Kremenchuk shopping mall "was one of the most daring terrorist attacks in the history of Europe."

"Only absolutely lunatic terrorists are capable of launching missiles on a target like this; there is no place on earth for people like that. This is not an accidental attack. It is a calculated Russian strike specifically against this shopping mall," the president is convinced.

He noted that it is still impossible to determine the total number of casualties and fatalities, but "the losses might be significant."

Earlier: On 27 June, the Russians launched two missiles on a Kremenchuk shopping mall; 13 people were killed and over 40 were wounded.
