Volodimir Zelenski, President of Ukraine, announced on Wednesday the arrest of an individual after the Russian “terrorist attack” in Kramatorsk, which caused at least 11 deaths and “more than 60 injuries.” At the scene of the events was the former peace commissioner, Sergio Jaramillo, and the writer, Héctor Abad Faciolince.

“Today the security services (SBU) and special police forces detained the person who coordinated this terrorist attack,” Zelensky declared in his daily evening address.
“Whoever helps Russian terrorists destroy lives deserves the maximum penalty” warned the Ukrainian leader, who believes that “there may still be people under the rubble.”
The perpetrators of those attacks “they are inhumane people”, added. Likewise, he said that such actions are “high treason” for which he can be sentenced to life imprisonment.
Tuesday’s Russian shelling of Kramatorsk, destroyed a restaurant, apartments, shops, vehicles and other buildings were damaged, according to the Ukrainian prosecutor’s office.
