Condemns the attack The Guardian writes that British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has condemned the attack in Krementsjuks, in a statement from the G7 gathering of world leaders in Bavaria. There he said: – This terrible attack has once again shown the depth of cruelty and barbarism that the Russian leader will sink into. Once again, our thoughts go out to the families of the innocent victims in Ukraine. Putin must realize that his behavior will do nothing but strengthen Britain and all other G7 countries to stand by Ukraine for as long as needed. Krementsjuk is located in Poltava county, by the river Dnipro. There are about 200,000 inhabitants in the city. This is not the first time the city has been hit by Russian missiles. Earlier in the war, Russian missiles hit Krementsjuk’s oil refinery and other infrastructure facilities, writes the BBC.
