Groza, Ukraine—A Russian strike killed at least 51 people gathered for a wake in northeastern Ukraine Thursday, provoking outrage from Western leaders for what the UN warned could be a war crime.
A spokeswoman for the regional assembly, quoted by Ukrainian media, said it was the single deadliest attack since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion on February 24, 2022. “My son was just found without a head, without arms, without legs, without anything. They recognised him from his documents,” Volodymyr Mukhovaty, 70, told AFP.
The soldier, whose wake it was, had been killed a month after Russia invaded. He had been buried in the southern city of Dnipro—away from his home village, then under Russian occupation.His wife and son, also a soldier, were both killed in the strike, a spokesman for the regional prosecutor’s office was quoted as saying by the Interfax-Ukraine news agency.
And British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said the strike “demonstrated the depths of depravity Russian forces are willing to sink to”, according to a spokesperson. Ukraine’s air force said Friday it had downed 25 of 33 Russian attack drones in six regions, including Odesa, Kharkiv, Mykolaiv and Dnipro.A child was killed and 16 others were wounded in a Russian strike in Kharkiv, the region’s governor said.
