"Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said at least 20 civilians were killed when a Russian glide bomb struck an eastern Ukrainian village, in the latest barrage from Moscow undermining any diplomatic momentum to end the war, now in its fourth year. Zelenskyy said on Tuesday the attack was a blatantly brutal Russian air strike on the village of Yarova in Donetsk Oblast. Directly targeting people. Ordinary civilians. At the moment when pensions were being paid out."
"The Russians continue to destroy lives, but avoid new strong sanctions and new strong strikes. The world must not remain silent. The world must not remain inactive. A response from the United States is needed. A response from Europe is needed. A response from the G20 is needed. Strong action is needed to stop Russia from bringing death, Zelenskyy said."
At least 20 civilians were killed when a Russian glide bomb struck the village of Yarova in Donetsk Oblast while pensions were being paid. The attack was described as a blatantly brutal air strike directly targeting ordinary civilians. There was no immediate comment from the Kremlin. Both Russia and Ukraine deny deliberately targeting civilians, though thousands of civilians, mostly Ukrainian, have been killed since February 2022. Calls for strong international responses have urged actions from the United States, Europe and the G20, including tougher sanctions. Russia meanwhile escalated attacks, launching hundreds of drones and missiles in large air assaults.
