Barely 24 hours after signing a agreement to export cereals from Ukraine, Russia has attacked Odessa. The Ukrainian authorities have denounced the impact of at least two missiles this Saturday on the city’s port, one of those included in the agreement to resume exports.
The Russian authorities, for their part, have denied Turkey its involvement in the bombing, which has already been condemned by the UN and the European Unionwhile the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelensky, asserted that this new bombing shows that “no matter what Russia promises, it will always find a way not to fulfill it.”
Meanwhile, the invasion that many predicted meteoric turns 150 days and is today an anguished litany of dead civilians and a destroyed country by the bombs and the hate.
After almost five months of war, we still see harrowing images like the one of the sorrow of a man for his dead son, a 13-year-old boy who was waiting for the bus when a Russian missile hit him. Just a few days before, the little Liza, four years oldbecame a fatal victim of another Moscow attack.
Innocent lives lost and the impotence of a country that sees its hope for the future disappear. In fact, the Ukrainian Prosecutor’s Office is already talking about 358 minors killed and about 700 injured since the invasion began, without counting the disappeared in graves not yet found.
And it is that, in the course of the conflict, Russia has shown that it knows how to dig, lift and remove the earth to hide the corpses that leaves in its wake. In the Russian-occupied kyiv region, more than 1,346 bodies of local residents have been found this week. A horror that has already left its mark on Buchawhere 90% of the corpses had gunshot wounds.
During this time, Moscow has made it clear that it has no respect for human rights or humanitarian corridors, as was made clear in the explosion in Irpin that, at the beginning of the war, in seconds the hope of an entire family was destroyed to flee the conflict.
The United Nations is already talking about 5,100 dead identified since the beginning of the invasion, which has forced some 9.5 million Ukrainians to leave the country.
