14 people killed, including 6 children: Russia launched a ballistic strike on a residential area of Kryvyi Rih near a children's playground.
Those who talk about peace are showing their true intentions to the world. Russia wants nothing but war.
Yesterday’s Russian strike on Kharkiv sadly took the lives of two people. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Around 30 people were wounded—all have received the necessary medical assistance. I thank our rescuers and medics who work every day for our people.
Over the past week, most regions of Ukraine have come under attack: 1,310 Russian guided aerial bombs, over 1,000 attack drones—mostly "Shaheds"—and 9 missiles of various types, including ballistic ones. A significant number were successfully shot down by our air defense warriors, mobile fire groups, and all units involved in protecting our skies.
Russia is dragging out the war, and we are providing our partners with full information on the strikes the Russian army is carrying out and the actions it is preparing for. We expect a response from the United States, Europe and all our allies to this terror against our people.
I thank all the leaders and states who understand this and continue their support. The stability and predictability of support for Ukraine are crucial. I am grateful to every country that helps us with air defense systems and investing in our defense industry—all of this helps protect Ukraine.
@GovPritzker What is the problem to review 14 years old rule, so parents could leave their kids at home since 10 or 12 ? That will help working parents more than anything else in a list. Most of the states doesn’t have it at all
@GovPritzker Please work on that: Illinois is just one of four states that has an age requirement for leaving children alone and has the highest such requirement. - Parents need some room to breathe ... That will help economy a lot
@GovPritzker If you really want to help kids and their parents - change Home Alone rule. Illinois is #1 with 14 years rule. Most of the sates doesn't have it at all and some 8-10 years. https://t.co/A00PNpxFT5
For those who claim that "it wasn’t a direct strike".
The rocket on the video was not hit by air defenses and was flying straight at the target, which is exactly the Ohmatdyt hospital below it.
