The situation at an overview: dead after Moscow attacks in Ukraine and Russia

In the Russian attack war against Ukraine, more than a dozen people were killed by new bombing and rocket attacks. After a rocket was hit in a residential building in Poltawa in Central Luckraine, the number of deaths rose to at least twelve. Civil protection said that there were two children among the dead. In other parts of the country, people also died in Russian air strikes, including two in Sumy in the northeast and one in Charkiw in the east.

According to the General Staff in Kiev, at least four people died in the city of Sudscha in the Russian area of ​​Kursk, controlled by Ukrainian troops, when a sliding bomb in a school boarding school used as an emergency accommodation. Four other residents of the Russian area were violated, the condition of another 84 people was satisfactory. It was all about Russian civilians.

Moscow and Kyiv blame each other

The Russian Ministry of Defense rejected the presentation from Kiev and said that the Ukrainian armed forces had targeted Sudscha from the neighboring Sumy with rockets. The building was hit by a Ukrainian rocket. Moscow accused Kyiv a “war crime”. The investigative committee in Moscow led criminal proceedings against the commander of the rocket unit in Sumy named by name, as the authority announced.

The Ukrainian Air Force rejected the allegations and contradicted Moscow’s claims at night with sketches of the projectile trajectory, which was broken in the building. From the impact angle, it could therefore only be a steering bomb that had been thrown off by an aircraft east of Sudscha. “The shooting of civilians with bombs is a trademark of Russian criminals, even if the civilians are locals, i.e. Russians, is,” says the explanation spread on Telegram.

The information from the warring parties cannot be checked by an independent side.

The Ukrainian troops marched in in the Russian area of ​​Kursk in early August and since then have been checking dozens of towns, including Sudscha. Many Russians could not flee in time and are therefore still in the competitive city.

Ukrainian military reports on rescue of injured Russians

Previously, the spokesman for the Ukrainian military command, Olexij Dmytraschkowskyj, who was set up in the Kursk area, spoke of 95 spilled as well as groans and screams among the rubble. There are many older people, many are unable to run themselves. According to the Ukrainian general staff, the work on the building continues. Those who need further medical help would be brought to neighboring Ukrainian territory.

According to the Ukrainian general staff, the residents should be prepared for the evacuation when the bomb hit. The Russian side was informed that only civilians, including women and children, were in the building.

The region is difficult to compete. Most recently, there were repeated reports of the death of civilians in the region in Russian counterattacks. Moscow’s military has repeatedly announced the reconquest of the Kursk area.

Selenskyj: Russia takes no consideration in their own civilians

The Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenskyj published a video after the air strike against the school boarding school in Sudscha on the platform X, in which a heavily damaged building and people in emergencies can be seen. The Russian army is also not considerate of its own civilians, he said.

“This is a state that has lost every decency,” said Selenskyj. “And that is an evil that will not quit on its own. But if we act strongly and determined, even Russia can be forced to quit. And that has to be done so that the world is safe from Russian bombs.”

In his evening video speech in Kiev, he again condemned the recent Russian air strikes against the cities of Charkiw, Saporischschja and Odessa, among other things. In the old town of the Harbor metropolis Odessa, which is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, several historic buildings were damaged in Russian rocket attacks. There were several injuries there and in other regions.

Selenskyj demands punishment of Russia’s helpers

In his video speech, Selenskyj again criticized the fact that bypassing Russia sanctions could continue to produce its rockets, marching missiles and drones with components from other countries. Hundreds or even thousands of components come from countries of the European Union, China and even from America, he said.

“Without these critical components, Russia would have no way of destroying the lives of other nations,” said Selenskyj. The sanctions should therefore be effective and should not be avoided under any circumstances. At the same time, he called for punishments for those states that delivered Russia such components. “The violation of sanctions must be treated as a complicity in the war, and if you help to destroy life, you have to be held accountable,” he said.

Ukraine has been defending itself against the Russian attack war with Western help for almost three years.
