Monday, May 9, a Russian missile pulverized several hotels. Two guards were present. Only piles of rubble remain.According to our experts, it is a cruise missile from the Soviet period. That’s why there’s so much damage“, describes Alexei Umanetsprosecutor.

In front of the gutted walls, Tamara Kuztetsovathe director of thehotel is formal. There was no Ukrainian resistance there, contrary to Russian claims.There has never been any Ukrainian soldier here, nor any military strategic objective (…) I don’t understand why the Russians targeted us“, she says.
