Background:
- Russian forces struck an Epicentr home improvement hypermarket in Kharkiv on the afternoon of Saturday, 25 May, killing two. Earlier, officials reported 24 casualties.
- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that up to 200 people might have been at the store at the time of the attack.
- Western media are continuing to report that Russian leader Vladimir Putin has signalled interest in negotiating a ceasefire in Ukraine, even though the Kremlin’s rhetoric and Russia’s military activity suggest that Putin is not interested in meaningful negotiations and any settlement that would stand in his way of destroying the independent Ukrainian state.
