Polish President Andrzej Duda said that the shelling of the Amstor shopping and entertainment center in Kremenchuk by Russian troops is a war crime of Russia. The answer to this crime should be increased military support for Ukraine.

“On the eve of the NATO summit in Madrid, Russia committed another war crime against civilians. This time in Kremenchug, Ukraine. The response to the shelling of a shopping center overflowing with innocent people should be increased military support for Ukraine, the defenders of Europe,” Duda said on Twitter.
