On Saturday May 25, the Russian army struck a hypermarket in Kharkiv (Ukraine), leaving around fifteen dead and several dozen injured. An attack described as “terrorist” by Volodymyr Zelensky.
The store went up in flames in just a few minutes. A fire of such intensity that the roof collapsed, letting thick columns of smoke escape. According to the brand’s management, at least 200 customers and employees were inside on Saturday, May 25, when the Russians struck. Several people are dead, others are missing. After hours of fighting the flames, the fire was contained and searches in the rubble began. But the store is huge, there are more than 10,000 m² of DIY and furniture.
Russian authorities claim to have destroyed a military warehouse and a Ukrainian enemy command post. A new blow for Kharkiv (Ukraine), the country’s second city, where the missiles continue to strike, as in a residential district which is also completely blown up. In his condolences, the Ukrainian president described these raids as “terrorists” : “This attack is a new manifestation of Russian madness. There is no other way to say it”. Volodymyr Zelensky once again called on his Western allies to provide more anti-aircraft defense systems to his country.
