Kropyvnytskyi declared a day of mourning for those killed in Kyiv
May 15 has been declared a day of mourning in Kropyvnytskyi for those who died during the Russian attack on Kyiv on the night of May 14. Flags in the city will be flown at half-mast, and the victims of the massive strike will be honored. The Kropyvnytskyi City Council announced this on Facebook.
The decision was made following another large-scale attack by Russia, which caused destruction and casualties in the capital. “A Day of Mourning has been declared in Kropyvnytskyi on Friday, May 15, as a sign of grief for those who died in Kyiv,” the statement reads.
The city council noted that the day of mourning was declared due to the consequences of a massive combined strike by Russian forces on the capital on the night of May 14. The attack resulted in significant destruction and loss of life.
On the day of mourning in Kropyvnytskyi, the Ukrainian national flag, the city’s official flag, and the red-and-black flag will be flown at half-mast near the city council building. The city may also restrict entertainment events and change the format of public gatherings.
Russia cynically called the massive attack on Ukraine a “retaliatory strike”
Due to the Russian Federation’s attack on the Lviv region, over 21,000 customers were left without power
As a reminder, overnight, the Air Defense Forces managed to neutralize 693 aerial targets, including 41 missiles and 652 unmanned aerial vehicles of various types.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that Russia’s massive attack on Ukraine is not accidental. In this way, Russian leader Vladimir Putin is attempting to divert the world’s attention from international events, particularly U.S. President Donald Trump’s visit to China.
