A Russian missile slammed into the eastern Ukraine city of Kostiantynivka on Wednesday, killing 17 civilians hours after Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived in Kyiv to unveil a hefty aid package and demonstrate an “unwavering” U.S. commitment to Ukraine sovereignty.
At least one of those killed was a child, and at least 32 people were wounded in the strike on a downtown market in the city of more than 65,000 people, Ukrainian Internal Affairs Minister Ihor Klymenko said. Kostiantynivka, in the Donetsk region about 400 miles east of Kyiv, has been the focus of much of Russia’s military effort as Moscow seeks to gain control of the industrial Donbas area of Ukraine.
