Russian shelling kills seven in Ukrainian market during Abu Dhabi talks

Donetsk Governor Vadym Filashkin accused Moscow of carrying out ‘another targeted war crime’ after Russian forces shelled Ukraine’s eastern city of Druzhkivka, killing at least seven people at a crowded market with cluster munitions. The attack occurred during a busy time, resulting in 15 injuries and damage to homes and buildings. As negotiations continue, Russian strikes in other regions claimed more lives and damaged residential areas, while Russia claimed control of eastern settlements. Despite international pressure, Russian President Putin persists in attacking Ukraine’s civilian infrastructure, prolonging the conflict and escalating tensions.
