Russia’s deadly strike on Kharkiv supermarket

In Kharkiv (Ukraine), Saturday May 25, the store caught fire 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 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 hard blow for Kharkiv, 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’s 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.
