"A total of 12 people are in the hospital, including one woman in a serious condition, doctors are fighting for her life," he stated. “She is the mother of the deceased two-year-old child.”
Lysak recalled that a total of 25 people were injured in the attack, including five children.

The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
