Quote of Syniehubov: “At about 13:15 the Russians struck a café and a store in a village in the Kupiansk district where a lot of civilians were concentrated.
Rescue workers continue working on site of the attack. As of now, 48 bodies, including that of a 6-year old boy, were retrieved from the debris.
Six people were injured, including one child. They are receiving necessary medical treatment. The search and rescue operation is ongoing.
Details: Kharkiv Oblast Prosecutor’s Office reported that as of 16:00, 49 people had been killed and 7 more injured.
President Zelenskyy expressed his condolences to everyone who lost their loved ones and pointed out once again that the Russian terror must be stopped. He said that he was negotiating with European leaders about strengthening Ukrainian air defence and soldiers.
Quote from Zelenskyy: “A demonstrably brutal Russian crime, a missile attack on an ordinary grocery store, a completely deliberate terrorist attack. Kupiansk district in Kharkiv Oblast. As of now, more than 48 people have been reported killed. My condolences! The injured are receiving medical attention…
And we will respond to the terrorists. Absolutely fair. And powerful.
Anyone who helps Russia circumvent sanctions is a criminal. Everyone who still supports Russia is supporting evil. Russia needs this and similar terrorist attacks for one thing only: to make its genocidal aggression the new normal for the whole world. And I thank every leader, every nation that supports us in defending life!”
