“It is useless to expect decency and humanity from Russia,” the Ukrainian president said. Kremenchuk, an industrial city of 217,000 before Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, is the site of the country’s largest oil refinery.
The attack came hours after the Ukrainian President attended the G-7 summit.
