Shelling of Ukraine
Russian troops often target residential areas during their attacks, resulting in the deaths and injuries of innocent Ukrainians.
In particular, yesterday, on June 12, the enemy launched a missile strike on Kryvyi Rih. As a result of the attack, 9 people were killed, and dozens were injured.
Against this background, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called on allies to provide Ukrainian defenders with modern air defense systems to protect civilians from Russian missiles.
