Volodymyr Zelensky has vowed that 'God will not forgive' and Ukraine 'will not forget' the slaughter of civilians by Russian, saying a 'day of judgement' is coming for them as cities were hit by fresh bombardments this morning with Vladimir Putin's invasion entering its twelfth day.

Zelensky, in a late-night address to his countrymen on the Orthodox Christian holiday of 'Forgiveness Sunday', recalled how a family of four were among eight civilians killed by Russian mortars while trying to flee the city of Irpin - near Kyiv - earlier in the day. 'We will not forgive. We will not forget,' he told listeners.   

'We cannot forgive the hundreds upon hundreds of victims. Nor the thousands upon thousands who have suffered,' he added. 'God will not forgive. Not today. Not tomorrow. Never.'
