Russian strikes hit Ukrainian cities leaving dozens dead and injured
Russian strikes across Ukraine killed at least 15 in a Kryvyi Rih shopping center, drawing EU condemnation as Italy reaffirms its refusal to join upcoming military maneuvers.
A series of combined Russian missile and drone attacks targeted multiple Ukrainian regions, including Kyiv, Odessa, Chernihiv, and Kryvyi Rih. A strike on a shopping center in Kryvyi Rih resulted in at least 15 fatalities and injured over 130 people, according to officials.
EU High Representative Kaja Kallas condemned the assault, stating it "shows the depravity of Russia," while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky appealed to UN Secretary-General António Guterres to press for an end to the conflict.
Concurrently, Italian leadership reiterated its opposition to deploying troops to Ukraine, confirming it will not take part in planned multinational military exercises scheduled for October.
