War in Ukraine: Mariupol pounded, Biden raises his voice … update on the situation – The HuffPost

In Ukraine, ten people who were queuing to buy bread in Cherniguiv, 150 km north of kyiv, died in the morning when soldiers opened fire on them in a “premeditated” manner, announced the general prosecutor’s office. In this same city, which suffered numerous air raids, five bodies, including those of three children, were found under the rubble of a collective dwelling, said the rescuers. Three other people lost their lives and five were injured in a market in a fire caused by a bombardment in Kharkiv, in the northeast. Explosions were also heard again at dawn in kyiv where thick columns of black smoke rose. The capital, emptied of more than half of its 3.5 million inhabitants, has been under curfew since 8:00 p.m. Tuesday (6:00 p.m. GMT) and until Thursday 7:00 a.m., after several missiles hit apartment buildings on Monday and Tuesday. In the afternoon, the firing of Grad rockets on a convoy of civilians leaving the besieged and shelled port city of Mariupol left an undetermined number of dead and wounded, including a seriously injured child, according to the Ukrainian army. A theater that housed “more than a thousand” people was destroyed there in the explosion of a bomb dropped by a Russian plane, added the town hall of Mariupol. U.S. space technology company Maxar Technologies, which specializes in satellite imagery, released a photo of the theater taken on Monday, it said. According to the photo seen by AFP, the word “children” was written on the floor , in huge white letters and in Russian, in front and behind the building. “The plane dropped a bomb on the building where hundreds of civilians were sheltering. It is impossible to establish the toll immediately because the shelling of residential areas continues”, according to the town hall. At least five hundred people have been killed since the start of the war in Kharkiv, the second city of Ukraine, in the northeast, relentlessly bombarded. According to the Ukrainian parliament, citing figures collected by the General Prosecutor’s Office, 103 children have been killed in the country since the start of the Russian offensive, and around 100 injured. As a result of the conflict, more than three million Ukrainians have already taken the routes of exile, mostly to Poland. See also on The HuffPost: Gabriel Attal’s tribute to Pierre Zakrzewski
