DNIPRO, Ukraine - Rescue workers on Monday evening retrieved the last dead body among those civilians who had been trapped underneath the rubble of a collapsed residential tower in Ukraine's Dnipro, raising the death toll to 40, according to authorities, describing the attack as one of the deadliest attacks.
Some people lay bouquets of flowers around the collapsed building to commemorate the victims.
Days after her house was damaged, Valeria Ushatkina returned to assess the damages her house saw.
The elderly Ukrainian woman is angry and believes her country should never enter talks with Russia.
"Some people are suffering at this time. Yet, we do not force the government to hold talks [with Russia]. Russia must be punished, very fiercely. We do not hold talks with terrorists. This is it," Ushatkina said.
In his nightly address, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that 39 people, including 6 children, had been rescued from the rubble. He also called the attack a “war crime” which Russia should be referred to the International Criminal Court (ICC).
A total of 230 residential units are damaged, of which 72 are completely destroyed, displacing more than 1,100 individuals. Upon fleeing the attack, they took with them their essential belongings, seeking shelter elsewhere in the city or the country.
Valentyn Reznichenko, governor of the Dnipropetrovsk region in central eastern Ukraine announced in a Telegram message that 73 people were injured in one of Russia's deadliest missile attacks on a city that has so far severed as a safe haven for many Ukrainians who have taken shelter there.
Russia denied being responsible for the missile attack.
With an estimated one million people, Dnipro is Ukraine's fourth-largest city. It is located in the eastern part of Ukraine, 391 km southeast of the Ukrainian capital Kyiv.
The nearly one-year-long Russian war on Ukraine has resulted in the death of tens of thousands and displaced millions of civilians with the country's economic infrastructure severely damaged in all sectors.
Ukraine has requested that the US provides it with the Patriot missile defense system to protect itself against Russian projectiles. Around 100 Ukrainian troops arrived in the US on Tuesday to begin training on the Patriot batteries.
