Like millions of people in Ukraine, I spent hours this morning taking cover due to a sustained wave of attacks on Ukraine by the Russian Federation's armed forces
Schmale noted that the strikes resulted in the deaths and injuries of civilians and caused serious damage to civilian infrastructure.
It is unacceptable that instead of going on with their lives, the country's citizens are forced to seek refuge in subway stations and other shelters. Even in war, there are rules. International humanitarian law must be respected. Civilians must be protected
