In a sign of simmering political tension within the Ukrainian ranks,\u00a0Volodymyr Zelensky<\/a> has clashed with Kyiv<\/a> mayor and former boxer Vitali Klitschko after three residents died in a missile strike because they were locked out of a bomb shelter.<\/p>\n There is no love lost between the pair, who have clashed since the war began, and in a scathing attack on Klitschko, Zelensky said that as well as facing the Russian enemy, ‘we also have internal ones’.<\/p>\n A furious Zelensky said if Kyiv’s local officials were incapable of protecting residents by keeping bomb shelters open, they will be prosecuted and face a ‘knockout’ blow in a thinly veiled dig at the former heavyweight boxing champion.\u00a0<\/p>\n Police have now opened a criminal investigation after a nine-year-old girl, her mother and another woman were killed in the Russian missile strike on Thursday after the air raid shelter they ran to failed to open.\u00a0<\/p>\n Zelensky, in his nightly video message, said shelters ‘must be kept accessible. Never again should we see a repeat of the situation that occurred last night in Kyiv.’\u00a0<\/p>\n
