U.N. report urges Russia to investigate attack on Ukrainian cafe that killed 59 civilians

United Nations investigators urge Russia to acknowledge responsibility for an Oct. 5 missile strike on a Ukrainian village that killed 59 civilians.

United Nations investigators Tuesday urged Russia to acknowledge responsibility for a missile strike on a Ukrainian village that killed 59 civilians, to conduct a transparent investigation into what happened and to provide reparations for victims and hold those responsible to account. The strike on a cafe in the village of Hroza on Oct. 5 was one of the deadliest strikes since the Kremlin’s forces launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine 20 months ago.

It said that Russia “either failed to undertake all feasible measures to verify that the intended target was a military objective rather than civilians or civilian objects, or deliberately targeted civilians or a civilian object.” Either of those explanations amounts to a violation of international humanitarian law, the report said.
