Scores of civilians were feared killed or wounded in a Russian missile strike on a crowded shopping mall in Ukraine’s central city of Kremenchuk on Monday, Ukrainian officials said. “This is not an accidental hit; this is a calculated Russian strike exactly onto this shopping centre,” Zelensky said in an evening video address. The Ukrainian military said the shopping centre was hit by missiles fired by Russian Tu-22M3 long-range bombers from the skies over Russia’s western Kursk region. The secretary of Ukraine’s National Security and Defence Council, Oleksiy Danilov, said that one missile hit the shopping centre and another struck a sports arena in Kremenchuk. Volunteers work to take away debris early Tuesday at a shopping centre burned after a rocket attack in Kremenchuk, Ukraine.
