00:00 Amidst the smoke and rubble, Ukrainian emergency workers strive to rescue and recover the victims
00:06 of Russia's latest attack.
00:08 On Thursday, the Ukrainian village of Khrosa was devastated by a Russian strike which killed
00:13 dozens of people, including a six-year-old child.
00:16 According to the regional governor, a shop was hit as well as a cafe, where around 60
00:21 of the village's 330 inhabitants had gathered to pay their respects to a deceased villager.
00:27 Minutes go by, and the lifeless bodies pile up.
00:31 Although Interior Minister Igor Klimenko said preliminary reports suggested the attack
00:36 was caused by an Iskander missile, security services are still processing the scene.
00:42 "Prosecutors and investigators of the security services are working on the scene to analyze
00:50 the debris and information about the victims and the type of weapons that were used for
00:54 this attack.
00:56 Criminal proceedings have been opened according to the criminal code of Ukraine."
01:03 Moscow's latest strike is one of the deadliest since the start of the Russian invasion of
01:07 Ukraine in February last year.
01:10 An attack which drew vivid condemnation from the UN and by President Volodymyr Zelensky,
01:15 who was in Spain for a European leaders' summit.
01:19 Kiev is categorical.
01:20 This new Russian strike is proof that Ukraine needs to strengthen its anti-aircraft defence.
01:26 Yet another appeal to its allies at a time when the Ukrainian cause is losing support
01:30 in Western countries.
01:32 Particularly in the United States, an essential source of financial and military aid in resisting
01:38 Russian forces.
