1. Humanity can’t coexist with ruzzians.

2. They ran out of hospitals to bomb?

3. Terrible, just terrible. And yet parts of the western world want to stop helping Ukraine. When will they wake up?

4. RuZZia is a terrorist state!

5. How can a military commit such crimes? This has nothing to do with war, this is hatred and sheer frustration on the part of the Russians. We can only hope that these crimes by Russia will result in long and severe punishments!

6. Are they even trying to strike army base anymore??

7. Shocking!!

   RuZZia is responsible for this. They must be made to pay dearly. It is the only language this terror state will ever understand.

   Bogdan Tkachuk, deputy of the Kharkiv district council stated
   From what we know, there was a memorial lunch happening at a cafe and store in the village center when someone directed a missile strike directly at this location. This was a gathering to honor a fallen soldier originally buried in Dnipropetrovsk. On the anniversary of the village’s liberation from occupation, the soldier’s relatives decided to rebury him in his hometown where he was born. So this memorial lunch brought together around half of the village’s 300 residents before the war began.
   Undoubtedly this location was deliberately targeted by an missile to inflict maximum casualties when the most people were gathered. There were no military personnel present – only civilians, relatives, neighbors and friends who lived in or near the village.
   The horrific scenes of bodies being pulled from the rubble are devastating to see. So many Ukrainians have now lost friends, family and loved ones in this war. To constantly see such images, especially of a dead child, illustrates the enemy’s cynicism. There is no justification and nothing to disprove – the targeting is clear.
   Rescue efforts continue as over 20 people are still unaccounted for. So far 27 victims have been identified. Over 50 people have been killed so far as debris continues to be cleared from the missile strike and over 100 rescuers and many police are working diligently. Those injured were urgently transported to medical facilities, likely in Kharkiv which has more advanced capabilities to treat severe wounds. The type of missile is believed to be an Iskander ballistic missile that caused destruction but did not dismember the bodies.
   The village is approximately 20-25km from the front lines near Kupiansk. This close proximity means it would only take seconds from launch to impact, leaving no time to take shelter
