'Brutal' Russian strike kills more than 20 Ukrainian civilians queuing up to cash pensions

A horror Russian airstrike has killed more than 20 Ukrainian civilians queuing up to cash their pensions. Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky said on his official telegram channel: "A frankly brutal Russian air bomb strike on the village of Yarova in the Donetsk region. Directly at people. Ordinary civilians.

"At the moment when pensions were being issued. According to preliminary information, the number of dead is more than 20 people. There are no words... Condolences to all the relatives and friends of the deceased. Such strikes by Russia should definitely not remain without an appropriate reaction from the world. The Russians continue to destroy life, but they avoid new strong sanctions, new strong strikes. The world should not remain silent. The world should not remain inactive. The United States needs a reaction. Europe needs a reaction. The G20 needs a reaction. Strong action is needed so that Russia stops bringing death."
