The beginning of May was marked by an escalation of Russian terror against Ukraine’s civilian population. In just two days, May 4 and 5, at least 41 people were killed and more than 180 injured. The most extensive destruction struck Merefa in Kharkiv region, Zaporizhzhia, Kramatorsk, and Dnipro. Beyond residential neighborhoods and enterprises, enemy targets included a kindergarten in Sumy and an administrative building in Chernihiv. Deliberate strikes continue against critical infrastructure and facilities of Ukrzaliznytsia. While performing their professional duties, two State Emergency Service rescuers and three employees of Naftogaz heroically lost their lives as a result of a treacherous repeated strike.

For five years, the team of the NGO “After Silence” has been collecting a photo archive from the time of World War II.

Ворожий терор на Одещині не вщухає: росіяни здійснили три атаки на обласний центр і серйозно пошкодили районну лікарню в Ізмаїлі. На Херсонщині, окрім постійних загроз із повітря, майже щодня фіксують дистанційне мінування цивільних територій, повідомляють в ОДА. Проти вихідних росіяни вдарили безпілотниками по західних регіонах України. Ворог прицільно нищить енергооб'єкти, порти, адмінбудівлі, АЗС, громадський транспорт. Загалом за тиждень Україну атакували близько 1600 російських ударних дронів, майже 1100 керованих авіаційних бомб і три ракети, повідомив Володимир Зеленський.
