France will continue to support Ukraine for as long as necessary, the French foreign ministry wrote after Russia shelled the center of Chernihiv.
“France strongly condemns the Russian attacks on the center of Chernihiv, which targeted the university and theater, which left at least six dead and 37 injured, including 11 children,” the French foreign ministry said in a statement.
“France will continue to support Ukraine for as long as necessary and will continue to support Ukrainian and international courts to ensure that these crimes do not go unpunished,” the ministry added.
Rocket hit civilians
On Saturday morning, the Russians hit the center of Chernihiv, probably with a ballistic missile. After the end of the rescue operation, Ukraine reported that seven people died and 129 were injured as a result of the attack, including 15 children and 15 police officers.
“This is what it means to live next to a terrorist state. We unite the whole world against it. Today a Russian missile hit the heart of Chernihiv. A square, a university and a theater. Russia has turned an ordinary Saturday into a day of pain and loss. There are victims. My condolences to all those who have lost a loved one. All services are working. Rescue workers, police, doctors,” wrote President Volodymyr Zelensky. He posted a video showing the extent of the damage.
Fighting for Chernihiv in 2022
Recall that in the first phase after the start of the Russian invasion of Chernihiv there was very heavy fighting. The city, located 140 km from Kiev, was then bombed almost daily. The Russian group operating on this part of the front was then to take part in the encirclement of the capital of Ukraine. However, the Ukrainian army managed to repel the opponents, which greatly contributed to the defeat of the Russians on the northern front.
