‘Hard to believe…’: Kindergartens in Kyiv reduced to debris due to war

Hindustan Times  

The Russian invasion of Ukraine has caused widespread damage which can't be expressed in words. The Ukrainian foreign ministry shared a series of photographs clicked by Ukrainian photographer and documentary filmmaker Mikhail Palinchak, chronicling the kindergarten schools in Makariv village of Kyiv which have been reduced to debris due to the war. In another development, Russian shelling targeted a museum dedicated to philosopher and poet Hryhoriy Skovoroda in the village of Skovorodynivka, resulting in a fire that destroyed the building, Reuters quoted the Kharkiv regional governor. The Ukrainian government is hoping to evacuate more civilians from a besieged Mariupol as the Russian forces have escalated attacks across the war-hit country ahead of May 9 celebrations marking Soviet Union's victory over Nazi Germany in the Second World War, Reuters reported. Ukraine's defence minister said Russian forces had resumed their assault on the site, despite earlier talk of a truce to allow trapped civilians to flee the complex.
