In today’s horrifying Russian attack on a shopping mall in Donetsk, at least two people were killed and 27 injured, including those who were just out shopping. Vadim Filashkin, governor of the Donetsk region, revealed that a 500-kilogram bomb exploded when the mall was packed with people. Besides the human toll, eight residential buildings and eight cars were destroyed, and about 30 shops were damaged. Videos from the scene show flames and thick smoke rising into the sky, while firefighters continue to extinguish the blaze and search for survivors. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called the attack “stupid Russian terror” with no military logic, whose only goal is to kill as many civilians as possible. This is not the first time Dobropillia has been targeted — in March, a similar attack killed 11 people, including five children. The attack comes as Russian forces try to break through lines in Donetsk, but clearly, they don’t care about means or victims. If you think war is far from you, think again — these crimes remind us how the world is still full of senseless violence. So, what do you think about these horrific attacks? Is this just the beginning, or will we see even worse scenes? Drop a comment if you’ve got the stomach for it.
