Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of Russian troops and aggression from the territory of Belarus in Ukraine, more than 2,000 civilians have died, State Emergency Service of Ukraine reports.
«A friend is known in trouble. For more than 160 hours Ukraine and the entire Ukrainian people have been defending themselves against the insidious and cynical attack of Russia and Belarus, and every hour is the lost lives of our children, women and defenders. During the seven days of the war, Russia destroyed hundreds of transportation infrastructure, homes, hospitals and kindergartens. During this time, more than 2,000 Ukrainians have died, not counting our defenders.» – the statement reads.
According to Defence Minister Oleksii Reznikov, currently, most suffering from Russia’s missiles terror are the residents of Kharkiv, Mariupol and Kherson. Also this morning, the occupiers threatened to completely destroy Konotop in the Sumy region with artillery if it will not be handed to them, but the city decided not to surrender. Heavy missiles attacks on civilians and public infrastructure were already conducted to Chernihiv, Kyiv and towns of Kyiv region, Odesa, Zhytomyr, city of Uman in Central Ukraine and dozens of other Ukrainian towns.
