At least one person was killed and several others were injured in the attack in Kyiv, including some who were trapped in the rubble when two buildings were hit, rescue officials said. The bombing came just an hour after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy gave a press conference with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, who said Ukraine had become “a hotbed of unbearable pain and suffering”. A spokesman said Guterres and his team were safe. Meanwhile, blasts were reported across the country, in Polinne in the west, in Chernihiv near the border with Belarus, and in Fastiv, a major railway junction southwest of the capital. The mayor of Odessa in southern Ukraine said the missiles were intercepted by the air defense. Ukrainian authorities also reported heavy Russian fires in Donbas – the eastern industrial heart that the Kremlin says is its main target – and near Kharkiv, a northeastern city outside Donbas that is considered key to the attack. In the devastated southern port city of Mariupol, Ukrainian fighters were huddled in the steel plant representing the last pocket of the resistance, saying concentrated overnight bombings killed and injured more people. Authorities also warned that a lack of safe drinking water in the city could lead to deadly diseases. In Zaporizhzhia, a critical stopover for tens of thousands of people fleeing Mariupol, an 11-year-old boy was among at least three people injured in a rocket attack that authorities say was the first to hit a residential area in the southern city since. the war started. Fragments of glass cut the boy’s leg to the bone. Vadym Vodostoyev, the boy’s father, said: “It only takes a second and you have nothing.” The new attacks came as Guterres studied the devastation in small towns outside the capital that saw some of the worst atrocities of the first attack of the war. He condemned the atrocities committed in cities such as Bukha, where evidence of mass killings of civilians was found after Russia’s withdrawal in early April, in the face of unexpectedly fierce resistance. “Where there is war, the highest price is paid by civilians,” the UN chief lamented. Separately, the Ukrainian prosecutor accused 10 Russian soldiers of “being involved in the torture of peaceful people” in Butsa. Attorney General Iryna Venediktova did not say that her office had filed criminal charges and appealed to the public for help in gathering evidence. Russia denies targeting civilians. The bomber struck shortly after noon in front of a rally in the capital, Baghdad, killing at least two people and wounding at least two others – including a house – in the capital, which has been relatively unharmed in recent weeks. Rich smoke was visible over the city. The eruptions in the Shevchenkivsky district of northwestern Kiev occurred as residents increasingly return to the city. Cafes and other businesses have reopened, and a growing number of people are circulating outside, enjoying the spring weather. “I was shocked to learn that two rockets had exploded in the city where I am,” Guterres told the BBC. “So this is a dramatic war, and we must definitely end this war and we must definitely have a solution for this war.” It was difficult to get a complete picture of the unfolding battle in the east, because airstrikes and artillery barricades have made the movement of journalists extremely dangerous. Several journalists have been killed in the war, which is in its third month. Also, both Ukraine and Moscow-backed rebels fighting in the east have imposed severe restrictions on reports from the battle zone. Western officials say the Kremlin’s apparent goal is to seize Donbass by encircling and crushing Ukrainian forces from the north, south and east. But so far, Russian troops and their allied separatist forces appear to have made only small gains, occupying several small towns as they try to move into relatively small groups against the fierce Ukrainian resistance. Russian military units were destroyed in the failed attempt to invade Kyiv and had to be reorganized and reorganized. Some analysts say the delay in launching a full-scale offensive may reflect Russian President Vladimir Putin’s decision to wait until his forces are ready for a decisive battle, rather than rushing and risking another failure that could shake it. its dominance amid deteriorating domestic economic conditions due to Western sanctions. Many observers suspect that Putin wants to claim a major victory in the east until Victory Day, May 9, one of the proudest holidays in the Russian calendar, marking the defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II. As Russia intensifies its offensive, civilians are once again carrying the brunt. “It’s not just scary. “It’s when your stomach contracts from the pain,” said Tatiana Pirogova, a resident of Kharkiv. “When they shoot during the day, it’s still okay, but when night comes, I can not describe how scary it is.” The Ukrainian military says Russian troops have opened fire on several parts of Donbas and that Ukrainian forces have repulsed six attacks in the past 24 hours. Four civilians were killed in heavy bombardment of residential areas in the Luhansk region of Donbass, according to the governor. Columns of smoke appear to be rising at various points in the Donetsk region of Donbass, while artillery and sirens are heard and extinguished. In Mariupol, a video posted on the Internet by Ukraine’s Azov Constitution inside the steel plant shows people combing the rubble to remove the dead and help the wounded. The regiment said the Russians had struck an improvised underground hospital and its operating room, killing an unspecified number of people. The video could not be verified independently. Hundreds of thousands of Mariupol residents have fled. Authorities say an estimated 100,000 remain at risk for diseases such as cholera and dysentery. “Deadly epidemics could break out in the city due to the lack of central water supply and sewerage,” the city council said in a Telegram messaging app. He said the bodies were decomposing under the rubble and there was a “catastrophic” lack of drinking water and food. Strong clicks were also reported in the Belgorod region of Russia bordering Ukraine, but there was no immediate explanation. In recent days, fuel and ammunition depots on Russian soil have been hit by explosions and fires, and suspicions have fallen on Ukraine. Ukraine has urged its allies to send even more military equipment to repel the Russians. US President Joe Biden has asked Congress for an additional $ 33 billion to help Ukraine.
