This is a calculated Russian strike - exactly at this shopping mall.” “And this is not an off-target missile strike. “Only totally insane terrorists, who should have no place on Earth, can strike missiles at such an object,” he added. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called the strike “one of the most defiant terrorist attacks in European history.” Scores of shoppers in Kremenchuk incinerated by another missile launched from a Russian long-range bomber.' 'Dozens of men, women, and children crushed under a residential building and ripped apart in a recreation center hit by Russian missiles in Odesa oblast.

Both strikes incurred widespread condemnation from Ukrainian and Western leaders, while Russian officials denied hitting the mall, a tactic the Kremlin has used repeatedly throughout the war. The recent strikes occurred across the country, hitting civilian infrastructure in 17 of Ukraine’s 24 oblasts, or regions, though Carpenter singled out two, one in Odesa and the other in Kremenchuk, each of which resulted in approximately 20 dead and more wounded.Ī Russian airstrike killed at least 21 people when it hit residential areas last Friday in the key port city of Odesa, while a Kremenchuk mall was hit during busy hours that left at least 18 civilians dead. 'The Kremlin’s message is clear: For as long as this war continues, no part of Ukraine will be safe from the brutality of the Russian government and its armed forces, the depravity of Russia’s leadership, and the callousness of Russia’s paid apologists in this council.'

'The Kremlin has shown it has one objective, and one objective only: attempt to gain through fear what it cannot achieve on the battlefield - the subjugation of Ukraine,' Carpenter explained.
