The most important thing is that this entire district around Shevchenko Park are a historical buildings. Putin’s so-called “high-precision missiles” hit first the playground, and then the in crossroad of streets that have nothing to do with any buildings of critical infrastructure. Those objects don’t have infrastructure or military facilities. This fact once again proves the barbarism of these people,” said Tkachenko.
