Buildings burn as another wave of Russian attacks hits Ukraine
Multiple buildings were set ablaze as Ukraine faced another wave of Russian attacks in the eastern regions on Tuesday. The attacks occurred in several cities, including Mariupol, Kharkiv, and Kyiv, resulting in significant damage to residential areas and infrastructure.
Ukrainian authorities have condemned the attacks, labeling them as indiscriminate and a violation of international law. President Volodymyr Zelensky called the assaults “barbaric” and urged the international community to take immediate action to stop Russian aggression.
Meanwhile, Russian officials have justified the attacks as necessary for “ensuring the safety and stability of the region.” They claim to be targeting military infrastructure and alleged strongholds of Ukrainian “extremist groups.”
The latest wave of violence has escalated tensions between the two countries, with fears of a full-scale war continuing to grow. The United Nations has called for an immediate ceasefire and diplomatic resolution to the conflict.
The situation remains fluid, with both sides exchanging accusations and threats as the violence shows no signs of abating.
