Ukraine's president calls attack further proof that Russia does not want any kind of de-escalation or real justice.
A Russian bomb attack on an aid centre in Ukraine has killed 24 people, Ukraine’s emergency services agency said.
The strikes destroyed a school used as a humanitarian centre in the village of Komyshuvakha in the southeastern region of Zaporizhia, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Monday. Five other people are reported to have been injured.
“After the first air strike, there was a repeat strike with nine more bombs, directly on the shelter where people were gathered,” Ukraine’s president wrote on Telegram.
Among those killed were a police officer and two State Emergency Service rescuers, regional Governor Mykhailo Semikin reported on Telegram.
