The Wreckage of War: Ukraine's Malls and Markets Under Attack The image of a burning shopping centre in Kryvyi Rih, once a thriving hub of activity, now stands as a haunting testament to the devastating consequences of war.
The sounds of conflict have replaced the chatter of shoppers and children playing in the mall's arcade, where Russian drones launched a strike that killed 16 people and injured over 130.
President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned the attack as "cynical and despicable," but his words barely capture the depth of outrage felt by Ukrainians.
