The Russian army, which continues to bombard civilians indiscriminately, attacked the shelter where children and the elderly were gathered yesterday (17th), and the inside video was released for the first time.

Today, Lviv, which was considered relatively safe in the west, was also bombed, and the temporary office of our embassy there also decided to withdraw.

People are densely packed inside the theater building, where photos of actors fill the walls.



Mostly children and adolescents, women and the elderly.




The innocent laughter of children, a mother who comforts a crying child.



But the breathtaking peace in the dark disappeared into flames after a while.



The Russian bombing destroyed the roof in the middle of the building between the clear signs that read 'Children'.



Debris has blocked the entrance, so proper rescue work has not even started.



It is said that there were more than 1,000 people in the theater shelter, but it is difficult to estimate the exact number of victims.



Russia denied the bombing.



[Maria Zakharova/Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson: The Ukrainian government puts blame on us as soon as something happens in Mariupol.

It's all a lie.]



In the wreckage of a collapsed apartment in Chernivu in the north, three-year-old twins and five members of the family were found as cold bodies.



In the second city of Kharkiv, Russian shelling also killed 21 civilians and wounded 25 others today alone.



According to the UN, more than 780 civilians have been killed, including 58 children, since the invasion of Russia.



It is analyzed that at least 7,000 and as many as 10,000 Russian soldiers were killed.



Even in the western city of Lviv, which was a relatively safe zone, Russian troops bombed the vicinity of the airport with missiles.



We decided to withdraw to the place where the temporary office of our embassy is located, leading the Koreans to a safe place soon.



The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that nine South Koreans, including former Captain Lee Geun, were found to be staying in Ukraine without permission and are checking their tracks.
