At least 48 people died this Thursday in a Russian attack against a residential area of a town in the district of Kupanskin the Kharkiv province of northeastern Ukraine, as reported this Thursday from Granada, where he is participating in the European summit, the Ukrainian president, Volodímir Zelenski.
“A clearly brutal crime from Russia, a missile attack on a food storea totally deliberate act of terrorism,” Zelensky wrote on his Telegram account, where he published an image of the result of the attack.
Zelensky initially said that 47 people had died in the attack and later raised the provisional result to one more death.

The Ukrainian president recalled that he is in talks with several European leaders to reinforce Ukrainian anti-aircraft defenses and be able to better protect their towns and cities from attacks like today’s.
“We must stop Russian terror,” added Zelensky, who described as “criminals” “all those who help Russia circumvent the sanctions” that prevent it from importing missile parts and other goods it uses to produce weapons.
“Russia needs this and similar terrorist attacks for one thing only: to make genocidal aggression the norm around the world,” he added.
Zelensky thanked “all the leaders and all the nations of the world” who help Ukraine to protect its civilian population.
