Russia’s defence ministry has admitted responsibility for a missile strike that destroyed a shopping centre in a central Ukrainian city but denied reports of civilian casualties, saying it had hit a military target.
Ukrainian officials said at least 20 people died in Monday’s air strike on Kremenchuk, 25 were being treated in hospital and 40 were missing. Rescue workers are still searching the site and authorities expect the death toll to rise.
The attack, which is likely to lead to one of the worst civilian death tolls in a single strike since Russia’s invasion of its neighbour in February, was the latest in a series of missile strikes in a conflict that shows no sign of abating.
Dmitry Peskov, spokesman for Russian president Vladimir Putin, said the war was going “according to plan” and that it would only end once Ukraine capitulated to Moscow’s demands.

War criminal.
Mall was empty of civilians, almost zero cars in the parking lot.
Likely a weapons storage facility or a command & control point.
Show us the dead bodies.
Or maybe you can get that pregnant Instagram model with fake blood to show up again…
“Russia’s defence ministry has admitted responsibility for a missile strike that destroyed a shopping centre in a central Ukrainian city but denied reports of civilian casualties, saying it had hit a military target.”
Another, DECEPTIVE, article from Western Media. What Russia admitted to was hitting a military target next to the empty mall, which was loaded up with ammunition, when then exploded and caused the mall to light up.
“Or maybe you can get that pregnant Instagram model with fake blood to show up again…”
Or the guy in the body bag that had to pull it back over his face when a wind guest blew during the report.
They should use both.
Everyone is alive in your photo.
Nice the way they CROPPED the picture.
More kids are killed on a Saturday night in Chicago, and they aren't in the business of sheltering troops.
The Ukrainians have learned the Palestinian trick of putting weapons in or near a civilian location. Theyve probably also learned the Palestinian technique of showing the same dead civilian body in multiple “attacks.”
This is truly a wag the dog war. People actually are dying, of course, and it’s not a joke … but it is truly a propaganda war, just with real casualties.
6 cars, zero dead people.
Same. Need a pan-out to see what was targeted. But I doubt the West will provide it.
Yes, the Ukrainians are as moral as the Palestinians or Russians or any -stan people.
I don’t care about the Ukraine or Russia. Time for Europe to step up if they desire.
