The military operation launched by Russia against Ukraine on February 24 continues. The shooting of a 9-storey building in Ukraine recently became the new turning point of the war. A woman waiting to be rescued from the rubble of a collapsed building became one of the most painful symbols of both war and attack.
IT HAS BEEN THE ICON OF WAR
The Russians once again shot civilians. The images of a woman waiting to be rescued among the rubble during the attack on a building over the weekend became the symbol of the attack. The moments when the woman, who was in the middle of the rubble, asked for help right after the attack, which targeted the 9-storey building, was heartbreaking. The injured woman was then rescued from the wreckage.
THE NUMBER OF DEAD RISE TO 35
With the latest attack, the number of casualties in the region has also increased. The death toll rose to 35. The attack increased tensions on the Kyiv-Moscow line. Zelenskiy described the events as terrorism and once again called on the world to take action. Zelenskiy asked everyone to impose sanctions on the list of 200 people he announced.
‘WAR CRIME’
There was also a reaction from the EU to the attack. In the statement, it was stated that the attack in Dnipro was a war crime.
EXPLANATION FROM RUSSIA
The Kremlin, on the other hand, responded to all these reactions by saying, ‘We did not organize it’ to the attack that caused the collapse of the building. Peskov said that Russia did not shoot civilians, Ukraine shot itself.
