A drone strike on a shopping centre in Kryvyi Rih, Ukraine, resulted in 16 fatalities and numerous injuries, prompting condemnation from President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The attack, described by EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas as 'terror by design,' is seen as a significant escalation in Russia's military actions against civilian targets.
Kallas announced plans for the most extensive sanctions against Russia since the war began, set to be discussed at an upcoming EU ministers' meeting. The incident underscores the ongoing threat to Ukrainian cities and highlights the urgent need for international support and accountability for Russia's actions.
Watch for the upcoming EU ministers' meeting where extensive sanctions against Russia will be discussed. The attack highlights the urgent need for enhanced military support for Ukraine, especially in missile defense, as civilian areas remain vulnerable to further strikes.
