Eleven dead as Russian missile hits shopping centre in Ukraine (The Guardian)

Scores of people injured as regional governor says death toll in central city of Kremenchuk could grow.

A UK government source said that when Johnson heard about the Kyiv strike he told fellow leaders it was “stupid of Putin to do something like that when all of us are in the same place, because it is only going to make us feel more resolute and united”. Ukraine’s air force command said in a statement that Russia hit the mall, which is located near a railway station, with two X-22 cruise missiles that were fired by an unspecified number of Tu-22M long-range bombers. There was no immediate comment from Russia, which denies deliberately targeting civilians. It is useless to hope for decency and humanity from Russia.” Kremenchuk is the site of Ukraine’s biggest oil refinery and stands on the banks of the Dnieper River. The city serves as the administrative centre of the Kremenchuk district in Poltava oblast. Russia continues to take out its impotence on ordinary citizens.

The US national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, confirmed on Monday the US is in the process of finalising a package that includes advanced air defence capabilities. A Russian missile hit a crowded shopping centre in the central Ukrainian city of Kremenchuk on Monday, killing and injuring scores of people, Ukrainian authorities said. That would amount to “the biggest overhaul of our collective defence and deterrence since the cold war,” he said. So it is clear that, in relations with Russia, there can be no way back to the time before the Russian attack on Ukraine.” UK defence secretary, Ben Wallace, has reportedly written to the prime minister to call for the defence budget to be lifted to 2.5% of GDP by 2028. A Russian missile attack also killed at least eight civilians and wounded 21 in Ukraine’s eastern Lysychansk region. At the current moment 14 bodies were found here on the site and another one died in the hospital.” Images from the scene showed giant plumes of black smoke and flames, with emergency crews rushing in to search for victims and put out fires. The Russian people have to see the truth:” This is part of a consistent pattern of atrocities being committed by the Russian government. We stand united with Ukraine in mourning the innocent victims of this brutal attack. So we in the west, not just the UK, but the entire west, need to do everything we can to support Ukraine militarily in this dark hour which they face.
