Russland vs. Ukraine

[Schneemann]

Bei einem der folgenschwersten russischen Angriffe in diesem Jahr auf ukrainisches Gebiet bzw. auf Poltawa wurden nach verschiedenen Meldungen rund 50 Personen getötet und wohl 235 bis 271 weitere verletzt.

Bei der Attacke wurde anscheinend auch eine Militäreinrichtung getroffen - nach verschiedenen Angaben Teile des Militärinstituts für Telekommunikation/Informationstechnik der staatlichen Universität für Telekommunikation in Poltawa -, wobei es Verluste unter den dortigen Kadetten/Studenten gegeben hat.

Ukraine says soldiers among 51 killed in Poltava missile attack

At least 51 people have been killed and 271 others injured in a Russian missile strike on the city of Poltava, in central Ukraine. A military academy and a nearby hospital were hit. Ukraine's land forces confirmed that military personnel were killed in the attack. People did not have enough time to get to bomb shelters after the air raid alarm sounded, Ukraine's ministry of defence said. [...]

Earlier reports from Russian military bloggers suggested that cadets were gathered at a military parade being held at the institute, but the ministry confirmed there was no parade happening at the time of the strike. [...] In a statement on Telegram which confirmed the deaths of the military personnel, Ukraine's land forces said an investigation was under way to establish whether enough was done to protect those in the facility the missile hit. [...]

In a video on the Ukrainian presidential website, President Zelensky said Russia would be held accountable for the strike. In the clip, which was also posted on X, Mr Zelensky said a "full and prompt" investigation had been ordered and that "all necessary services are involved in the rescue operation".
