After the rocket attack on a shopping center in eastern Ukraine, Russia is in the pillory internationally.

Participants at the G7 summit speak of war crimes.

Kyiv – Russia is under international pillory after the rocket attack on a shopping center in eastern Ukraine that killed at least 18 people in the Ukraine war.

The participants at the G7 summit in Elmau, Bavaria, spoke of a war crime and threatened Kremlin chief Vladimir Putin with consequences.

According to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, more than 1,000 people were in the shopping center in the city of Kremenchuk during the attack.

After the rocket hit, the building was engulfed in flames and burned down except for the concrete pillars and metal structures.

The number of confirmed deaths rose again on Monday evening (June 27), according to the state emergency services.

Around 60 people were injured, half of them seriously, the Ukrainian Prosecutor General's Office said.

She also reported more than 40 missing person reports.

Ukraine conflict: Zelenskyj calls Russia "largest terrorist organization in the world"

Zelenskyy described Russia after the attack as "the largest terrorist organization in the world".

Everyone in the world should know that "if you buy or transport Russian oil, have contacts with Russian banks or pay taxes or customs duties to the Russian state, it means giving money to terrorists," said Zelenskyy.

The participants at the G7 summit in Elmau, Bavaria, also condemned the attacks in the Ukraine conflict: “Arbitrary attacks on innocent civilians are war crimes.

Russian President Putin and those responsible will be held accountable for this."

US President Joe Biden tweeted: "Russia's attack on civilians in a shopping center is cruel".

Britain's Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on the sidelines of the G7 summit: "This appalling attack shows once again the level of cruelty and barbarism the Russian leader is capable of."

Russia's Deputy Ambassador to the UN, Dmitry Polyansky, described the attack as a "new Bucha-style Ukrainian provocation".

Moscow has always dismissed the well-documented killings of Ukrainian civilians in the Kiev suburb of Bucha by Russian troops as alleged staging.

Regarding Kremenchuk, Polyansky claimed on Twitter without further explanation that there were "too many noticeable discrepancies".
