“This night, the Russians again attacked the sports infrastructure in Ukraine. Now the track and field arena in Cherkasy has come under attack from the Russians. Athletes were trained here for international competitions, and the attack was aimed at a place where children usually practice. Fortunately, the children and coaches were quickly evacuated by the team of the complex. In advance, there are no injured,” Bidny wrote on Facebook.
Earlier, the head of the Cherkasy Regional Military Administration, Ihor Taburets, reported that Russian troops massively attacked Cherkasy with attack drones, as a result of which six people were injured.
According to him, the forces of the Russian Federation targeted critical infrastructure – part of the city was cut off. Taburets also reported that at least one and a half dozen private houses were damaged, and windows were broken in the sports complex.
The Russian military regularly attacks Ukrainian regions with various types of weapons – attack UAVs, rockets, anti-aircraft missiles, and anti-aircraft missiles.
The leadership of Russia denies that the Russian army during a full-scale war inflicts targeted strikes on the civilian infrastructure of the cities and villages of Ukraine, killing the civilian population and destroying hospitals, schools, kindergartens, energy and water supply facilities.
The Ukrainian authorities and international organizations qualify these strikes as war crimes of the Russian Federation and emphasize that they are purposeful in nature.
