The Russian strike resulted in the deaths of three people - a child and two adults. The Russians took the lives of a six-year-old boy, a 20-year-old woman, and a 41-year-old man. Four children and adults were injured. Two of them are in extremely serious condition.
Unfortunately, the Russian troops do not tend to cease their aggressive actions in Ukraine. It is important for the international community not only to condemn such attacks but also to take specific measures to protect the civilian population.
