<p>KYIV (Reuters) &#8211; A Russian airstrike killed more than 20 civilians who were collecting their pensions in a village in eastern Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Tuesday.</p>
<p>He called for pressure by Kyiv&#8217;s allies on Russia, whose forces have pressed a grinding offensive across much of the eastern Donetsk region as diplomatic efforts to end the 3 1/2-year-old war have largely stalled.</p>
<p>Zelensky said the Russian airstrike had hit the village of Yarova, about 15 miles (24 km) from the city of Sloviansk and several kilometres behind the front line.</p>
<p>&#8220;Directly on people. Ordinary civilians. At the very moment when pensions were being disbursed,&#8221; he wrote on X.</p>
<p>The president posted video footage showing bodies strewn across the ground and debris. Another 21 people were wounded, said Donetsk governor Vadym Filashkin.</p>
<p>&#8220;The world must not remain silent,&#8221; Zelensky said. &#8220;The world must not remain idle. A response is needed from the United States. A response is needed from Europe. A response is needed from the G20.&#8221;</p>
<p>Russia did not immediately comment on Zelensky&#8217;s remarks. Moscow has denied targeting civilians, but tens of thousands have died since its full-scale invasion in February 2022.</p>
<p>Ukraine&#8217;s human rights commissioner, Dmytro Lubinets, said the attack was &#8220;yet another confirmation of systemic terror against the civilian population of Ukraine.&#8221;</p>
