"Hero of Russia" is dead

This is not the first setback for Russian forces in this region. A week earlier, reports emerged of the death of Major Marat Tibilov.

Tragic attack on Kryvyi Rih

Recently, despite ongoing negotiations, Russian forces have intensified their actions in Ukraine. Nine children were killed in the attack on Kryvyi Rih. This was the most tragic single attack involving the deaths of young children since the Russian invasion of Ukraine began, stated the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (UNHCHR), Volker Türk, on Sunday. The General Staff of Ukraine stated that on Friday, Russia committed another war crime by using an Iskander-M ballistic missile with a cluster warhead.
