Strike on Pension Distribution in Yarova: What the Head of Ukrposhta Named as the Cause of the Tragedy

Russian troops launched an airstrike on the village of Yarova in Donetsk region

Pensions... it's always a day when people go out to receive the money they have earned, hoping for a peaceful day. But for the residents of the village of Yarova in the Donetsk region, this day turned into a nightmare. Russian troops carried out an airstrike, resulting in the deaths of over 20 civilians. The General Director of 'Ukrposhta' Ihor Smiansky even suggested that someone passed the coordinates for this horrific strike to the Russians.

Ihor Smiansky expressed his condolences to the families of the deceased and reported that an air bomb was dropped on people who were receiving pensions for the first time. One of the postal workers, Yulia, was injured, but her life was saved by a driver who was nearby and provided assistance in this difficult time.

According to the General Director of 'Ukrposhta', the most outrage comes from the fact that someone managed to pass information about the pension distribution location to the Russians, although the authorities were constantly changing security and camouflage procedures. There was even an agreement with the VCA to change pension payment procedures in the conflict zone.

Reactions from the President of Ukraine

«A frankly brutal Russian airstrike with a bomb on the village of Yarova in Donetsk region. Right on people. Ordinary civilians. At the moment when pensions were being distributed. According to preliminary information, the number of dead is more than 20 people. There are no words… Condolences to all relatives and loved ones of the deceased»

The President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky reacted to this tragedy, emphasizing that the actions of Russia cannot go unanswered by the whole world. The Russians continue to destroy innocent lives while evading responsibility. New strong sanctions must be the consequence of the most horrific events occurring in the conflict zone.
