Russia's military destroyed a café in Ukraine's Kharkiv region, killing at least 49 people as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was traveling abroad for international help.
A Russian attack on a village in northeast Ukraine Thursday left at least 49 people dead, including a 6-year-old boy, Ukrainian officials said. It also left at least six others injured. Presidential Chief of Staff Andrii Yermak and Kharkiv Gov. Oleh Syniehubov said Russian forces shelled the village of Hroza in the Kharkiv region, hitting a shop and a café around 1 p.m. Syniehubov said another child was among the wounded.
On Thursday, Zelenskyy attended a summit of the European Political Community in Granada, in southern Spain, to seek additional assistance from the international body. The group was formed in the aftermath of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. 'The key for us, especially before winter, is to strengthen air defense, and there is already a basis for new agreements with partners,' he said in a statement on Telegram.
He called for 'additional air defense system for Ukraine, additional artillery and shells, additional long-range missiles and drones for our soldiers, as well as additional formats of support and security guarantees for nations threatened by Russia' to help protect Europe from potential aggression by Moscow.
He did not say if he expected support from Washington to end, but referenced the confidence he had following his meeting with President Biden and lawmakers in the U.S. last month. In the past day, Russian attacks left two civilians dead in the southern city of Kherson and another one dead in the city of Krasnohorivka in the eastern Donetsk region. At least eight people were wounded by the Russian shelling, according to Ukraine's presidential office.
