Boris Johnson and other western leaders condemned the “appalling” Russian missile attack on a shopping centre in Ukraine feared to have left scores of civilians dead or wounded. Two Russian missiles struck the shopping complex in the city of Kremenchuk, southeast of Kyiv, on Monday killing at least 10 people and wounding 40, senior Ukrainian officials said. Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky – who had earlier urged G7 leaders to provide more weapons to help his military pushback against Vladimir Putin ’s forces – described the toll of the attack as “unimaginable” and cited reports that more than 1,000 people were inside. The UN condemned the attack as “deplorable”, while Mr Johnson said it showed “the depths of cruelty and barbarism to which the Russian leader will sink”. It comes as British troops are set to be part of a massive expansion of Nato forces aimed at boosting defences on the alliance’s flank in Eastern Europe in response to the ongoing Russian attacks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
