A missile launched by Russian forces into the center of the Ukrainian city of Chernihiv killed six people — including a six-year-old girl — and injured 42, the Ukrainian Ministry of the Interior said on Saturday.
“An ordinary Saturday, which Russia turned into a day of pain and loss,” Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the president of Ukraine who is in Sweden for talks with Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson, said on the social media site Telegram.
Speaking about the slain child, Minister of Internal Affairs Ihor Klymenko said: “The police officers on patrol tried to give her first aid. They applied a tourniquet because there was a lot of blood loss. Unfortunately, the doctors could not save the child.” The girl’s mother had also been hit and was “in an extremely serious condition,” he said.
The attack came as Russian President Vladimir Putin visited generals in Rostov-on-Don, the southern city that acts as the staging post for Russia’s invasion forces and was briefly captured by paramilitary forces from the Wagner Group in June.
According to the Kremlin, Putin met Valery Gerasimov, the chief of the General Staff of the Army, who has been fiercely criticized by Wagner leader Yevgeny Prigozhin.
