Russia turned Easter Week into a time of relentless airstrikes. The most brutal and destructive attacks targeted Dnipro, Kyiv, and Odesa. Around one hundred civilians were injured during the massive assault of April 15–16, when Russia launched more than 700 aerial targets. Russian drone and missile strikes claimed the lives of children in three cities: in Cherkasy, an 8‑year‑old boy was killed on a playground; in Kyiv, a ballistic missile killed a 12‑year‑old child in bed; in Chernihiv, a teenager was found dead under the rubble of a collapsed building.

Over the weekend, tragedy struck in Kyiv: six people were killed in a shooting. Among the wounded was a boy whose parents were victims of the assailant.
