У столиці триває ліквідація наслідків масштабної ракетно-дронової атаки, яка забрала життя сімох громадян і спричинила руйнування й пожежі. Жорстокого удару зазнало місто Дніпро, де загинуло 16 мирних жителів, ворог повторно атакував місто та район просто в день жалоби. На Донеччині чергові авіаудари по Краматорську та Дружківці принесли нові смерті. Окупанти кожен день обстрілювали Херсон з артилерії й безпілотників, а також дистанційно мінували території. Потерпали обласні центри та громади у прифронтових і прикордонних регіонах.

As a result of the May 24 attack in Kyiv, unprecedented destruction of cultural sites has been recorded since the beginning of the Russian‑Ukrainian war. The Russians are deliberately destroying educational institutions — the buildings of the Kyiv‑Mohyla Academy were damaged, a drone strike completely burned down a school in Chernihiv region, and a school in Derhachi was damaged. The enemy continues airstrikes on Kramatorsk, terrorizes Odesa both day and night, and attacks foreign civilian vessels in the ports. In Kherson, a Russian shell exploded on a playground, killing the father of a family; doctors are fighting for the lives of the mother and their three‑year‑old daughter, while the six‑year‑old daughter is in moderate condition.

Every year on May 18, Ukraine bows its head in memory of the victims of the genocide of the Crimean Tatar people — a crime that has no statute of limitations. In 1944, the Soviet system deported more than 200,000 Crimean Tatars, taking thousands of innocent lives and crippling the fate of an entire people. This terrible crime against humanity has been recognized in Ukraine at the legislative level as genocide.
