Russian rockets continue to kill civilians: 19 dead in Krywyj Rih!

Krywyj Rih, Ukraine - The humanitarian situation in Ukraine remains alarming. According to the Kleine Zeitung , almost 13,000 civilians have been killed in February 2025 to the end of March 2025. In addition, almost 30,700 people were injured, whereby a high number of unreported cases is assumed in non -documented cases. The situation is further tightened by ongoing Russian attacks that continue to affect civilians.

A particularly tragic example occurred on April 5, 2025 in Krywyj Rih, where a Russian rocket attack on a residential area cost 19 people, including nine children. More than 70 people were subsequently injured, including a three -month -old baby and several seniors. The governor of the region, Serhij Lysak, described this incident as a "mass murder of civilians", while the Ukrainian armed forces replied the representation of the Russian military as a "high -precision strike" on a Restaurant in which supposedly Ukrainian commanders and Western instructors were gathered, and instead pointed out the civilian character of the goal.

increasing number of victims and international reactions

The deputy Hochkommissarin of the United Nations for Human Rights, Al-Stashif, recently stated that the number of victims increased by increasing use of drones, rockets with longer reach and lubricant. Accordingly, more than 27,800 people have already been injured. However, the real numbers are likely to be significantly higher, since only clearly documented cases are recorded. According to Deutschlandfunk have now also fallen at least 120,000 soldiers and fighters.

The Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenskyj criticized the international reaction, especially from the US ambassador Bridget Brink, who did not directly name Russia as those responsible for the attack. Selenskyj demanded consequences and found that Russia has a targeted warfare against civilians, despite previous agreements to protect energy systems. In addition, further attacks on Charkiw and a power plant took place in Cherson in the last 24 hours.

global perspectives

The ongoing attacks and the high numbers of civilian victims raise urgent questions about compliance with international international law. Diplomat Fletcher emphasized that the principles only apply to opposite and international international law is hollowed out in conflicts such as in Ukraine, but also globally. This situation means that the humanitarian principles are increasingly questioned.

With the impending office of President Trump, who has taken a critical attitude towards help for Ukraine, the next meeting of the contact group of the Ukraine supporting states at the US air force base in Ramstein is also considered crucial.
