President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, during a speech on July 14 at a conference on war crimes, honored the Ukrainians who died from a missile attack with a minute of silence.

The conference began just a few hours after the attack on Vinnitsa.

This morning, Russian missiles hit our city of Vinnitsa, an ordinary, peaceful city. Cruise missiles hit two public houses, residential buildings were destroyed, a medical center was destroyed, cars and trams were on fire. This is an act of Russian terror. People couldn't do it - they are animals. Eight missiles, two of them hit the city center. At the moment, 20 people have died, including three children, Zelensky said at the conference.

In a closing statement, Zelensky called the meeting of prosecutors and judges in The Hague an act of "salvation" for international law.

“It depends on you, on me, whether international law will work or not,” Zelensky said.
