New Delhi:
Maxar Technologies’ latest satellite photos show widespread destruction in Ukrainian cities amid relentless Russian bombing. Eight people have been killed in the bombing of a shopping center in northwestern Kiev. The 10-storey building was completely destroyed by the explosion. Russia claims the mall was used to store missile systems.
According to the United Nations, nearly 3.5 million Ukrainians have now fled the country after the invasion of Russia, of the 10 million who have been displaced from their homes.
Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky said on Monday his country would be “destroyed” before surrendering its cities to the invading Russian forces, doubling down on his call for direct talks with Vladimir Putin as key to ending the war.
