Zelensky expands sanctions on Russians who 'justify terror' after Dnipro attack

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced expanded sanctions on Russians who help “justify terror” against Ukrainians in his Sunday address, which came hours after one of Moscow’s deadliest attacks on civilians since the start of the war.

“I think it is right that today there is a decision to expand our sanctions against Russian citizens and other persons who help terror,” he said in his nightly address Sunday.

A Russian missile struck an apartment building in Dnipro, a city in east-central Ukraine, on Saturday, which Zelensky said killed 30 people, including a 15-year old girl. The head of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Council, Mykola Lukashuk, said earlier Sunday that another 73 people were injured, including 14 children.

Zelensky said the debris from the attack is still being cleared, and that dozens of people had already been rescued from the site. He said there are still 30 people who may have been in the building at the time who have yet to be found.
