“There are wounded and dead, among them a small child,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky wrote on the Telegram messaging app. “What is this, if not an open act of terrorism?” The Russian strike hit the car park of the nine-storey “Yuvelirniy” office block at about 7.50am GMT, Ukraine’s State Emergency Service said. It published photographs showing smoke rising from the twisted remains of burnt-out cars and smouldering rubble nearby.
Ukraine, with the help of recently acquired US Himars mobile rocket systems, has begun to strike targets deep inside Russian-controlled territory and says it is destroying ammunition dumps and reducing Russia’s ability to wage war. He made clear, however, that both towns were still held by Ukrainian forces. The Russian plan, he said, was to seize the two towns and then attack the cities of Sloviansk and Kramatorsk from the east.
