On Wednesday, Russian-occupied forces once again launched an attack on the city of Kharkiv, using the X-59 air-launched missile, resulting in numerous casualties. The attack is yet another war crime committed by Russia in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
According to reports from the National Police, the shelling of Kharkiv on March 20th has left a preliminary number of fatalities and injuries. The city, located in eastern Ukraine, has been under constant threat from Russian aggression since the beginning of the conflict in 2014.
This recent attack has once again brought to light the inhumane actions of the Russian government and its disregard for innocent civilian lives. The use of an air-launched missile in a densely populated area is a clear violation of international law and a direct attack on the civilian population.
The people of Kharkiv have already endured years of violence and destruction, with many forced to flee their homes as a result of the ongoing conflict. This latest attack only adds to the suffering and trauma that they have endured.
The international community must condemn this heinous act and hold Russia accountable for its actions. The continued support and supply of weapons to the Russian-backed separatists must also be addressed and halted. It is time for the world to stand in solidarity with Ukraine and put an end to the illegal occupation and aggression from Russia.
The Ukrainian government has called for an emergency meeting of the United Nations to discuss this latest attack and the ongoing conflict. It is imperative that the international community takes decisive action to bring an end to this war and restore peace and stability to the region.
In the face of such violence and destruction, the resilience and strength of the people of Kharkiv are truly admirable. They have shown remarkable courage and determination in the face of adversity, and their sense of community and solidarity in the aftermath of this attack is a testament to their resilience.
We stand with the people of Kharkiv and all those affected by this senseless violence. We call for an immediate end to the conflict and for justice to be served for the victims of this attack.
The citizens of Kharkiv deserve to live in peace and security, free from the constant threat of violence and aggression. We urge the international community to take swift and decisive action to bring an end to this war and support Ukraine in its efforts to restore its sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the people of Kharkiv during this difficult time. We stand in solidarity with them and will continue to support Ukraine in its pursuit of peace and justice. Let us unite and demand an end to the violence and aggression from Russia, and work towards a peaceful resolution to this devastating conflict.
