On Sunday morning, an apartment building in the city of Kherson in southern Ukraine was brutally destroyed by bombing.
Although it was retaken by Ukraine in November last year, Russian airstrikes continue.

The air raid destroyed flats, hospitals and schools, resulting in casualties.
On the Eastern Front, Russian and Ukrainian forces fought over the state of the war.
According to a Reuters report, the Russian private mercenary group ‘Wagner Group’ claimed to have taken control of the village of Blahodatne in the Donetsk region, a battlefield on the 28th local time via a telegram message.
Blahodatne is on the outskirts of Soledar, where the Ukrainian forces have recently officially recognized their retreat.
In response, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said that a Russian attack had been repelled in Blakhodatne, and that Russian attacks had also been repelled in 13 other areas of the Donetsk region.
However, the actual situation of the war has not been confirmed.
Amidst this, the former President of the United States, Donald Trump, criticized the weakness and incompetence of President Joe Biden for causing the crisis of the First World War.
[도널드 트럼프 / 전 미국 대통령 : 조 바이든 대통령의 유약함과 무능함이 3차 세계대전 위기를 불러왔습니다. 혹시 모르는 사람이 있을 수 있는데 우리는 3차 세계대전 직전에 와 있습니다. 나는 대통령으로서 힘을 통해 평화를 회복할 것입니다.]
Former President Trump boasted that if he becomes president again, he can pull out a peace deal within 24 hours.
