Ukraine's Foreign Minister accused Russia of carrying out "relentless attacks on civilians" and practicing "terrorism against the civilian population." The accusation follows the latest attack on a shopping center in the Pavlohrad region, which resulted in five dead.
The attack on the shopping center in the Pavlohrad region caused fatalities, raising the number of civilian casualties in the conflict. Ukrainian authorities point to a pattern of deliberate attacks on civilian targets by Russian forces.
The Ukrainian government has been documenting and publicly condemning what it classifies as systematic attacks against the civilian population. This is not the first time Kiev has accused Moscow of deliberately targeting civilians during the conflict.
The Foreign Minister's accusation falls within the broader context of the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, where both sides have exchanged mutual accusations about attacks on civilians and non-military infrastructure.
