At least 15 people are dead and more than 20 buried under rubble at the destruction site of a five-story apartment building. Some of the wounded have been uncovered, but more remain buried, including a child.
One side of the apartment building was hit by Russian missiles, creating a mountain of wreckage and debris. Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky said that the missile strikes were done intentionally. “After such strikes, they will not be able to say that they did not know something or did not understand something,” he said. “Punishment is inevitable for every Russian murderer”.
Rescuers used a crane and picked up the rubble by hand to look for the missing people. A video released by Ukraine’s emergency ministry shows rescuers pulling out a living man from the wreckage. Tens of emergency workers are still working to find the victims. They also have a bulldozer and a crane to help them lift chunks of concrete.
Bodies of the dead had been recovered and an injured dog had also been rescued. Veronika Bakhal, the press secretary of the Donetsk Emergency Services said that another 5-story apartment had been hit with a missile. The roof was partly destroyed, and firefighters had put out a fire there. No bodies were recovered. “Language contact with three persons has been established. That is, we know for sure that these people are alive. Measures are now being taken to save them.
Since the beginning of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the OHCHR (Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights) has confirmed 4,889 civilian deaths. President Volodymyr Zelensky has also accused Russian president Vladimir Putin of war crimes, like targeting civilians and massacre.
A similar atrocity happened back in April, when retreating Russian soldiers massacred hundreds of innocent civilians in the suburb of Bucha. Since February 24, when Russian soldiers invaded Ukraine, they have gained over 20% of Ukraine.
Russian police have also been arresting critics of Vladimir Putin. The Kremlin, Russia’s military headquarters, is still calling their invasion of Ukraine a “special military operation” and are still “liberating” Ukraine. Russia is still advancing through Ukraine, and similar acts are inevitable to happen.
