(Finance) – 124 days after the start of the war in Ukraine, horrors and bombings do not stop. Today, while 100 bodies were found under the rubble of a house in Mariupol, a Russian missile hit a busy shopping center in Kremenchukin central Ukraine.
“The Russian bombing of Kremenchuk, in the central-eastern region of Poltava, hit a shopping center, where there were more than a thousand civilians. The shopping center is on fire, rescuers are fighting to put out the fire, the number of victims is impossible to imagine, “said on Telegram the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, stating that the target posed “no danger to the Russian army” and had “no strategic value”.
“The occupiers fired a missile at a shopping center where more than a thousand civilians were,” said the governor of Poltava, Dmytro Lunin -. The shopping center was on fire. “The toll, from what is learned, is at least 10 dead and over 40 injured but – warned Lunin – the death toll could rise further.
“This chilling attack – said the British Prime Minister Boris Johnson – showed once again the depth of the cruelty and barbarism in which Putin has sunk. According to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky there were 1,000 people in the facility when a Russian missile hit it. Once again the thought goes to the families of the innocent victims in Ukraine. Putin must understand that this behavior will only strengthen Ukraine’s resolve and every other G7 country is with Ukraine to the end. ”
Meanwhile the US strengthens its support for Ukraine on the defense front. “I can confirm that we are in the process of finalizing a package that includes advanced air defense capabilities – announced the National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, in a briefing on the sidelines of the G7 proceedings in Elmau -. But this week, as the president told his fellow G7 leaders, and as he told President Zelensky, we intend to finalize a package that includes advanced medium- and long-range air defense capabilities for the Ukrainians, along with other elements that are urgently needed, including ammunition for artillery and counter battery radar systems “.
