News of another attack by Russian invaders on Ukrainian infrastructure civilian sites has become a tragic reality. This time, the picturesque village of Kindrativka in Khotinskyh community in Sumy region came under fire. The consequences of the shelling were destructive – one man was killed, another was wounded, but due to the danger to their lives, they cannot be evacuated. The tragedy was reported by Oleksii Hryhorov, head of the Sumy Regional Military Administration, on his Facebook page. According to him, on Sunday, the day before, Russian militants used artillery to shell the village. The aftermath was horrifying: a 48-year-old local resident died during the attack, and another man, 52 years old, was wounded and is currently under medical supervision. "Today, Russian troops shelled the village of Kindrativka in the Khotinskyh community with artillery," Hryhorov stated on social media. "As a result of the attack, unfortunately, a 48-year-old local resident died. Another civilian — a 52-year-old man — was wounded. He has already received first aid, but due to the constant threat of renewed shelling, it is currently impossible to bring him to a hospital for further treatment. Once the situation becomes safer, he will be evacuated to a medical facility." Witnesses and local residents note that the consequences of these attacks destroy not only buildings and infrastructure but also break the peace and stability in the small village. Daily shelling and assaults by Russian forces keep people in a state of anxiety and uncertainty, confining them within a cycle of fears and worries. Local authorities and security services are continuously monitoring the situation and providing necessary assistance to those affected. At the same time, due to active hostilities, government structures urge residents to exercise maximum caution and follow safety recommendations. Ukrainian communities, especially inhabitants of besieged villages and towns frequently targeted by shelling, continue to demonstrate incredible resilience and belief in victory. Because of the increasing danger and regular shelling, residents demand reinforced defense measures and rapid aid for the victims. Local authorities call for more active international support in establishing secure borders and safeguarding the peaceful population of Sumy region from the treacherous attacks by Russian invaders, which have long become an ordinary threat to the peaceful lives of Ukrainians. The shelling in Sumy region has become one of many terrible manifestations of Russian aggression against Ukraine, ongoing for over a year, causing destruction, human losses, and broken lives. It is clear that responsibility for this tragedy rests with the aggressors, while Ukrainians continue to fight relentlessly and unbroken for their safety and freedom.
