Ongoing Violence in Ukraine as Russian Strikes Lead to Numerous Casualties
Recent Russian airstrikes in Ukraine have resulted in significant civilian casualties, with reports indicating that at least 22 civilians were killed in various attacks, including a strike on a prison in the Zaporizhzhia region that left 17 inmates dead and more than 80 injured. Ukraine has condemned these actions as deliberate war crimes, particularly highlighting the targeting of a maternity ward and penal colonies. As pressure mounts from international figures, including former U.S. President Trump who has urged Putin to cease hostilities, Russia remains defiant, continuing its bombardment across multiple regions. Overnight attacks have killed dozens, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis as the conflict shows little sign of abating.
