The Ukraine-Russia conflict escalated sharply on Sunday after Russian forces targeted government buildings housing Ukraine’s cabinet in central Kyiv, sparking fires and leaving at least two dead and several others injured.
Condemning the attack, Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko said, “The government can rebuild what has been destroyed, but the lives lost cannot be restored. Russia continues to terrorize and murder our people every single day.”
