In Thursday’s strike by a Russian missile, the village of Hroza lost over 15% of its 300 population.
By Edith M. Lederer, Associated PressThis aerial view shows a destroyed cafe after a Russian rocket attack in the village of Hroza near Kharkiv, Ukraine, Sunday, Oct. 8, 2023. Ukrainian officials say at least 52 civilians were killed in a Russian rocket strike on a village store and cafe in the eastern part of the country in one of the deadliest attacks in recent months.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov denied last Friday that Russia was responsible for the Hroza attack. He insisted, as Moscow has in the past, that the Russian military doesn’t target civilians and civilian facilities. Russia’s President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly painted his enemies in Ukraine as “neo-Nazis,” even though the country has a Jewish president who lost relatives in the Holocaust and who heads a Western-backed, democratically elected government. The Holocaust, World War II and Nazism have been important tools for Putin in his bid to legitimize Russia’s war in Ukraine, but historians see their use as disinformation and a cynical ploy to further the Russian leader’s aims.
Nebenzia claimed that Ukraine’s government wrings its hands about civilians who died in airstrikes on hotels, hostels, cafes and shops, “and then a large number of obituaries of foreign mercenaries and soldiers appear.”Albania’s U.N. Ambassador Ferit Hoxha, this month’s council president who presided at the meeting, said the missile strike and deaths in Hroza underscore again “the terrible price civilians are paying 20 months after the Russians invaded.
