Kyiv decries ‘missile terrorism’ as 21 people remain missing in ruins of Kremenchuk building

Russian missiles have hit the eastern Ukrainian city of Dnipro as emergency crews continued to search the ruins of a devastated shopping centre in Kremenchuk, where 21 people were still missing a day after a rocket strike killed at least 18 people.

“I flew head-first and splinters hit my body. The whole place was collapsing,” said one shopper Ludmyla Mykhailets .Ukrainian interior minister Denys Monastyrskyi said 18 people were confirmed dead, 59 had been wounded, and 21 were still unaccounted for after rescue workers had cleared about 60 per cent of the ruins of the building.

Kyiv officials said Russia fired more than 100 cruise missiles at cities across Ukraine over the last four days, and on Monday alone at least five civilians were killed when rockets hit a school and apartment block in the eastern city of Kharkiv, and eight people were killed by shelling when collecting water in the city of Lysychansk, where fighting is now fierce.

Ukrainian defence ministry spokesman Oleksandr Motuzyanyk described Russia’s intensification of long-range strikes on his country’s cities as “missile terrorism against the civilian population of Ukraine, to break its spirit and destroy Ukrainians’ unity”.

It's fairly obvious now that the russians deliberately targeted the shopping centre. No doubt about it. More war crimes to add to the hundreds of other russian atrocities. They will never be punished for them,unfortunately , and they know it.

Kyiv happily bombed its own civilians but now Russia do it’s missile terrorism Kyiv who also recently released nazi child rapists from prison. Are russia wrong ? Yes Are Ukraine blameless or devoid of serious breaches of human rights? No and even the UN reported this in 2016

It's hard to believe that the Russian would inflict such savage atrocities on their neighbours. The West must continue to support the Ukrainian Army with arms and finance .
