Ukraine: Zelensky condemns Moscow’s ‘insane’ attack on school, with at least 40 dead
Zelensky condemns the bombing
Volodymyr Zelensky condemned a deadly Russian bombing at a school in southeastern Ukraine. At least 40 people were killed, according to the report. In a post on Twitter/X, Zelensky said people had gathered to receive humanitarian aid when they were struck. He said first responders and police officers who came to the scene were hit afterward.
Call for a stronger response
Zelensky said the attack had received little reaction from the rest of the world. He called for a strong response and described the bombing as an “insane attack,” according to his post.
He also characterized the attack as one of many war crimes Russia had committed against Ukraine and Ukrainians. The report does not provide further details about the bombing or identify the school.
Other details in the report
The opening account says Russian retailer Ozon had to cancel some orders after a fire broke out at a warehouse in the Adygea Republic. It does not explain whether that incident is connected to the school bombing described later.
The report also says Ozon and competitor Wildberries have had assets repeatedly targeted by Ukraine in recent months, while Kyiv accuses the companies of supporting Vladimir Putin’s war effort. It does not attribute blame for the warehouse fire.
