President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the Transfiguration (Spaso-Preobrazhensky) Cathedral in Odesa, destroyed by a Russian missile on Sunday night, will be restored.

"There will be Spaso-Preobrazhensky Cathedral in Odesa. We will definitely restore everything. By the way, I am grateful to Italy, Madam Giorgia Meloni, members of the Italian Parliament, and the entire Italian society for their promise to help restore Ukraine's historical monuments," he said in a video address on Sunday.

According to Zelenskyy, "last night alone, nearly 50 buildings in Odesa were damaged, 25 of them architectural monuments. The historic center. A world heritage site that UNESCO has taken under its protection. The building of the Greek Consulate was also damaged, and this is already the second consular office in Odesa to be hit by Russian terror. Only three days ago, another such attack damaged the building of the Chinese Consulate."

"We cannot allow people around the world to get used to terrorist attacks. The target of all these missiles is not just cities, villages or people. Their target is humanity and the foundations of our entire European culture," he said.

Zelenskyy thanked NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg "for promptly convening the first meeting of the NATO-Ukraine Council." "In fact, immediately after our conversation yesterday, we agreed on the date - the meeting will take place this Wednesday. We are preparing it to be meaningful. We are also preparing new support packages from our partners - everything that brings the defeat of Russian terrorists closer," the president said.
