Russia has denied targeting civilians or committing war crimes though its air strikes have caused devastation in cities across Ukraine since the full-scale invasion on Feb. He cried, saying that we’re all gonna die.
“My child got really scared, he sat in the corner of our corridor. We sat there the whole time, there were a few more explosions,” said Oleksandra, 25, visiting the memorial with her five-year-old son Hryhoriy.
“I grabbed my child and ran into the corridor because I didn’t have any other options. In earlier comments to reporters in Moldova, Zelensky said that as well as facing the Russian enemy, “we also have internal ones.” He said the response could be a “knockout” blow, a veiled dig at Klitschko, a former heavyweight boxing champion.Īt a makeshift memorial for the girl, another parent woken by the attacks spoke of her terror. This was “very clearly” the duty of local authorities “and if this duty is not fulfilled at the local level, it is the direct duty of law enforcement bodies to prosecute.” Never again should we see a repeat of the situation that occurred last night in Kyiv.” Zelensky, in his nightly video message, said shelters “must be kept accessible. Local media said prosecutors searched city administration offices as part of the investigation. The case prompted calls for residents to check shelters and report safety violations. “The entrance was closed, there were already maybe five to 10 women with children. My wife took our daughter and they ran to the entrance here,” local resident Yaroslav Ryabchuk told Reuters in the Desnyanskyi district. Residents said people were unable to enter the shelter because it was closed.
“A rocket fragment fell near the entrance to the clinic four minutes after the air alert was announced. “Three people, one of them a child, died near the clinic last night,” Klitschko said. Police opened a criminal investigation into the three deaths near a medical clinic in the Desnyanskyi district of Kyiv after the 18th attack on the capital since the start of May. His comments appeared aimed at Kyiv city authorities and Mayor Vitali Klitschko, with whom he has periodically clashed during the war. President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed frustration at the miscue and said if local officials were unable to provide protection, they could be prosecuted. And, for that reason, I think it's really important for everybody to care about.KYIV: A nine-year-old Ukrainian girl, her mother and another woman were killed in a Russian missile strike on Kyiv on Thursday after the air raid shelter they rushed to failed to open, witnesses said. And so if you don't care about them being in there, maybe you care that they get out, and that the way that they're treated while they're inside, it really could affect how their life goes when they come back into the world that we all inhabit on the outside.Īnd then there's also all the people that are affected by that, the families and the friends that love people who are incarcerated, and then all the people that work there, the thousands and thousands of people who endure the stress of knowing that there is a job in which they might encounter something that they think they would want to report, but the culture itself is one in which you're supposed to cover it up and your - maybe your own safety relies on your willingness to cooperate and go along with cover-ups that occur inside of the prison system.
Well, prisoners are among our most vulnerable people, because they rely on others for their basic needs and for their safety.īut people also get out of prison. And you also see him go unconscious at the moment that the officers claim that he was fighting back against them.Īnd another important thing to note here is that Melvin Virgil was sent to solitary confinement for this particular incident, and the officers' cover-up was actually - their story was adopted as the official narrative in the prison of what had actually occurred.Īnd this is despite there being video evidence, and despite the officers being allowed to actually watch that video and offered an opportunity to change their reports, which they declined. And that story actually became the official narrative of what had happened in the Melvin Virgil case, which was that he had attacked the officer and just one strike had been used in an attempt to get him under control, and that he had remained combative.īut, in the video, you actually see him struck six times in the head. So the attack on Melvin Virgil is unique because there was actually footage of what occurred, which is - I had never seen body camera footage from inside a New York state prison before.Īnd this case really illustrated the ways that the officers all basically came together on the same story of what happened, which is clearly contradicted by the video.
