This young girl holds on to her father the way you hold on to what you love most.

This scene plays out in Ukrainian cities every day.
This is the price Ukrainians pay to remain free.
A Russian drone struck a supermarket in Chernihiv, killing at least two people, including a child, and injuring twenty others. Fires broke out after the attack as rescue workers searched for survivors and extinguished the flames.
On the same day, Russia also dropped guided aerial bombs on Zaporizhzhia, killing one person and injuring another.
This is the reality of Russia's war against Ukraine. Russia chooses to target places that should be among the safest. Each attack is intended to spread fear far beyond the site of the strike.
Russia's terror will not stop on its own. It must be constrained by stronger sanctions, greater military support for Ukraine, and more air defence systems capable of stopping missiles, drones, and aerial bombs before they reach their targets.
