The death toll in the apartment building in the city of Dnipro destroyed by Russian rockets continues to rise.

The military governor of the Dnipropetrovsk region, Valentyn Resnichenko, spoke of 35 dead so far in the morning.

More bodies were recovered from the rubble during the night.

Two children were among the dead.

35 people are still missing.

A large part of the nine-story skyscraper collapsed on Saturday after a rocket hit.

At least 30 people were said to have died on Sunday evening.

"The search for the people under the rubble continues," Resnichenko said.

The temperatures in Dnipro were below zero, which is why hardly any survivors were expected.

Baerbock: Putin tramples on principles of international law

8.29 a.m .:

Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock has accused Vladimir Putin of a war against international law for the attack on Ukraine.

"Putin tramples on the most elementary principles of international law that unite all peoples," criticized the Green politician before her flight to talks with representatives of the International Criminal Court in The Hague, Netherlands.

"Russia's war against Ukraine is also a war against the law." With her visit, she wanted to make it clear: "International law is strong, and it is up to all of us to enforce it and strengthen it right now."

Baerbock wanted to meet the President of the International Criminal Court, Piotr Hofmanski, and then Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan in The Hague.

In the afternoon, the minister wanted to give a speech at the Hague Academy for International Law entitled "Strengthening International Law in Times of Crisis".

Among other things, Baerbock studied international law, but did not complete a doctoral thesis in this area.

Talks were also planned with Prime Minister Mark Rutte and her foreign minister colleague Wopke Hoekstra.

Bundeswehr begins relocation of Patriot systems to Poland

8.20 a.m .:

According to SPIEGEL information, the Bundeswehr is beginning to move its Patriot air defense system to Poland.

According to this, the first soldiers should set off with their vehicles from Bad Sülze (Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania) today.

In the coming days, the weapon systems will also be relocated to the neighboring country.

A total of three squadrons are to ensure the protection of critical infrastructure of the NATO ally near the border with Ukraine.

After a missile hit Polish territory in November, Defense Minister Christine Lambrecht (SPD) and her Polish counterpart Mariusz Blaszczak agreed that German Patriot missile defense systems would be relocated to Poland.

In the meantime, Blaszczak caused considerable upset in Berlin because he suggested stationing the Patriots better in Ukraine.

It is now clear that three fire units will come to Poland after all.

In addition, Germany will also deliver a Patriot anti-aircraft system to Ukraine to help the country defend itself against Russia.
