Kremenchuk mourns victims of deadly mall strike

STORY: Tearful residents in the Ukrainian city of Kremenchuk mourned the victims of a Russian missile strike on Tuesday (June 28), lighting candles and laying flowers.

The attack on the shopping mall killed at least 18 people, according to authorities, with many more injured.

“I thought that my children would be safe here but I was wrong. What happened yesterday showed us that there is nowhere safe in Ukraine.”

The strike, in the central city of Kremenchuk far from any frontline, has drawn a wave of global condemnation.

Including from French President Emmanuel Macron, who has called it a “war crime.”

"Russia cannot and should not win. And so our support for Ukraine and our sanctions against Russia will remain in place as long as necessary and with the required intensity in the coming weeks and months."
