Eight missiles struck the southern city of Mykolaiv including an apartment building, Mayor Oleksandr Senkevych said, just days after Ukraine said Russian missiles killed at least 18 people at a mall in the central town of Kremenchuk.
“Russian missile hit this location precisely. De-li-be-ra-te-ly … It is clear that Russian killers received those exact coordinates,” Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in an evening video address. “They wanted to kill as many people.”Further east in Lysychansk in the Luhansk region, a key battleground in Russia’s assault on the industrial heartland of Donbas, the governor reported increased military action.
Russia has denied targeting civilian areas during its four-month offensive against Ukraine. The UN says at least 4 700 civilians have been killed since Russia invaded on February 24. The Moscow-imposed military-civilian administration in Kherson region said it had begun preparations for a referendum on joining Russia, Russian state news agency TASS reported.In the past few days, Ukrainians have also described attacks in the southern region of Odesa and Kharkiv in the northeast.
Finland and Sweden on Tuesday moved a step closer to joining the Western NATO military alliance in response to Russia’s actions, after Turkey dropped its opposition to their membership.“We have run out of words to describe the senselessness, futility and cruelty of this war,” U.N. political affairs chief Rosemary DiCarlo told the Security Council.
Zelenskyy accused Russia of being a “terrorist state” at the United Nations, urging the Security Council to expel Moscow from the United Nations. Russia accused Zelenskiy of using the address as a “PR campaign” for weapons.
