I am quoting from the BBC news site as I cannot find the words to express my horror - but not surprise at Putin deliberately targeting innocent civilians
The inferno that resulted from Russia’s missile strike on a shopping centre was incredible. Footage shared on social media showed panicked passers-by rushing to help shoppers caught in the strike.
Is anybody alive… anybody alive?” - a man can be heard calling out
Ambulances were soon on the scene, taking the injured to hospital. It was too late for many.
It isn’t known how many died, but Ukraine’s President Zelensky said around 1,000 people were inside when the missiles struck
The governor of Poltava Oblast, the region in which Kremenchuk sits, said it was "a crime against humanity
Dmytro Lunin called it an “obvious, cynical act of terror against peaceful civilians.
Russia is yet to respond to the attack and has always denied targeting civilians
But, it is already being suggested that this was another attempt by Moscow to send a message, just as the G7 group of wealthy nations was discussing new aid for Ukraine
If this isn’t a clear-cut war crime, what is.
I do feel real despair. ☹️☹️
