: At least 41 people were killed and more than 180 wounded on Tuesday when Russia struck a military institute in the central town of Poltava with two missiles, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said, the war’s deadliest single attack so far this year.
According to the foreign ministry, the type of weapons used left little time for people to find cover once the air alert had sounded. Poltava is located about 110 kilometres from the border with Russia and about 350 kilometres south-east of Kyiv.Russia has intensified its missile and drone attacks on Ukraine two-and-a-half years into the full-scale war.Last week Ukraine was pummeled with the heaviest bombardment to date, and on Monday ballistic and cruise missiles targeted Kyiv causing loud explosions.
“We keep telling everyone in the world who has the power to stop this terror: air defence systems and missiles are needed in Ukraine, not in a warehouse somewhere.
