The Ukrainian city of Pavlograd is marking a day of mourning today after a Russian attack killed five people yesterday, killing two more and wounding a total of 79 in the Dnipropetrovsk region.
“This is another Russian crime against civilians. Those who lived, worked and raised children. Russian attacks bring death and destruction to our cities and villages,” Dnepropetrovsk governor Alexander Ganzha said.
Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andrey Sibiga stated: “Russia is systematically targeting places where it knows people will spend time going about their daily lives, seeking to maximize casualties, sow fear and pressure on Ukrainian society.”
“This is a coercive tactic. Russia believes merciless attacks on civilians could exhaust Ukrainians and force Ukraine to make concessions,” he said.
Reuters noted that separate attacks on a gas station in Kyiv and an agricultural enterprise in the southeastern city of Dnepr added to Russia’s air campaign has intensified in recent weeks.
Ukrainian Prime Minister Sergey Koretsky said Russian attacks on businesses and civilian infrastructure ‘increased rapidly’ and called on the government to “react and act proactively.”
