Yesterday due to a rocket in Odessa, a 14-year-old boy lost his life and a 17-year-old girl was injured. Every day we lose children from Russian attacks. 220 children were killed and 406 were injured. Today is a farewell ceremony for the REL journalist who was killed by a Russian missile in Kiev", said Zelensky in front of the Albanian Parliament.

The special session begun at 13:00 and the Ukrainian president will deliver his speech in front of Albanian lawmakers through the "ZOOM" platform, as announced.
