A Russian missile hit a cafe in the village of Groza, Kupyansky district, Kharkov region, where about 60 villagers had gathered.
The European Union’s High Representative for Foreign and Security Policy, Josep Borrell, called the Russian strike on a cafe in the village of Groza, Kharkov region, which killed 55 people, a war crime. This was stated in his official statement on Thursday, October 5.
He emphasized that this was a targeted attack on the civilian population.
“Deliberate attacks on civilians are war crimes. The Russian leadership, all commanders, perpetrators and accomplices of these atrocities will be brought to justice. There will be no impunity for crimes in war,” Borrell emphasized.
At the same time, the UN humanitarian coordinator in Ukraine, Denise Brown, expressed her condolences to the Ukrainians on the organization’s page.
“I am outraged by reports of a Russian strike that almost destroyed the village of Groza in the Kharkov region, where dozens of civilians were killed. The images that emerged from the village, where just over 300 people live . Our thoughts are with the people of Ukraine, who have now again witnessed another brutal result of the invasion of the Russian Federation,” he wrote.
Let’s remember that currently 55 people are known to have died in the village of Groza. Law enforcement officials suspect that the missile strike gunner is one of the locals.
It was previously reported that the search at the impact site has been completed.
