At least 30 people died in a massive Russian air attack on December 28-29 in Ukraine, hitting military and civilian targets, including Kyiv, in the biggest bombardment of the invasion.
Over 100 private houses, 45 high-rise buildings, schools, churches, hospitals, and commercial premises were destroyed or damaged in the attack, with nine people killed and 30 wounded in Kyiv.
Ukraine accuses Russia of targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure, while Russia denies these claims. Western leaders stand with Ukraine in condemning Russia's actions.
A Russian journalist who declares himself openly gay said on Saturday that he was beaten in a park in central Moscow, an attack he linked to his sexual orientation, reports France Presse.
