After the Russian rocket attack on a tall building in Dnipro, emergency services stopped looking for victims. The “chances of finding someone” are “unfortunately close to zero”, said the mayor of the central Ukrainian city.
45 dead born, 20 people missing
Since the devastating attack on Saturday, 45 dead have been recovered – including six children. More than 80 people were injured, at least 20 are still missing – including the 11-month-old grandson of a man who is stunned outside the devastated house.
“Now, to see this devastated apartment building where my daughter’s family used to live… My grandson, who just isn’t there all of a sudden. Damn god damn Putin and his entire entourage,” the Ukrainian said. to journalists.
Sympathy is great. Even in Russia’s capital, Moscow, strangers place flowers and stuffed animals for Dnipro victims. Four people were arrested. Public anti-war actions like this have become rare in Russia – the fear of mass repression is too great.
Putin before a special court?
Signals of solidarity with Ukraine are also coming from Brussels. EU finance and economy ministers condemned the attack at a meeting on Tuesday and pledged more financial aid to Kyiv to weather the winter.
Meanwhile, the EU Parliament was debating whether Vladimir Putin should be taken to a special court over the war of aggression. The vote will be on Thursday.
