A Russian missile strike on Ukraine's northern city of Chernihiv killed seven people and wounded 144 on Saturday, President Volodymyr
A Russian missile strike on Ukraine’s northern city of Chernihiv killed seven people and wounded 144 on Saturday, President Volodymyr Zelensky said, in what the UN denounced as a “heinous” attack.
“I condemn this repeated pattern of Russian strikes on populated areas of Ukraine… Attacks directed against civilians or civilian objects are strictly prohibited under international humanitarian law,” she added. The city, 150 kilometres north of Kyiv towards Belarus, had until now been largely spared from major attacks since the first months of Russia’s invasion as fierce fighting rages in the east and south.
Moscow gave no details of when the meeting took place, but footage released by state media indicated it was at night. Gerasimov is seen leading Putin down a corridor decorated with portraits of Russian military men and of the president chairing a meeting with army chiefs.
