Following the Russian air raid in the Ukrainian village of Komischuwacha in the Zaporizhzhia region, at least 24 people died, according to the latest official information from civil protection. This happened when humanitarian aid was being distributed in a school, Zelensky reported on Telegram and the X platform. Further victims are being sought in the rubble. Regional military administrator Michailo Semikin reported on Telegram that 27 people were missing. According to the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, at least 18 people were killed and five others were injured in a Russian attack on a village in the southeast of the Zaporizhzhia region. Zelensky wrote on Telegram that Russian troops first bombed a school in the village of Komischuwacha, which was being used to distribute humanitarian aid. He accuses Russia of having specifically attacked the school. "Russia could not escape the fact that the inhabitants remaining in Komischuwacha were receiving humanitarian aid there every week," Zelensky wrote. The settlement was bombed multiple times. In total, more than ten bombs were dropped. One hit directly into an air defense basement, according to Zelensky. Russia has officially withdrawn from the European Anti-Torture Convention. According to the reports of the Council of Europe, this ends any independent monitoring of Russian prisons. The Anti-Torture Committee of the organization in Strasbourg can no longer monitor the treatment of prisoners in Russia. Moscow had announced its intention to leave the convention already last year. The withdrawal is now effective. Although Russia was a party to the convention since the late nineties, human rights activists have always complained that torture and degrading treatment are widespread in Russian police posts and detention facilities. Almost all Ukrainian prisoners of war who were exchanged also report torture in Russia. In Ukraine, the emergency app "Air Alert" – which sends warnings about air raids to smartphones, among other things – has been hacked, according to official information. The app warned of radioactive radiation in the capital Kyiv, even though no such emergency existed. According to media reports, warning sirens also sounded in some regions on Sunday evening. The app was also falsely warned about attacks with chemical weapons. The authorities called on the population not to click on links in the warning app. During a Russian drone attack on the community of Kosijatin in the central Ukrainian region of Vinnytsia, at least three people died. Three children and one adult were injured in the explosion between a residential building and a school, the regional military administrator reported on the online platform Facebook. Russian drone attacks were also reported from the western Ukrainian region of Chernivtsi. The local military administrator reported on Facebook that one person was injured in the hits. In addition, an administrative building was severely damaged. In the western Ukrainian region of Ternopil, power went out in many places after Russian drones attacked and damaged energy facilities. Repair teams have already rushed to restore the supply, the local military administrator reported via the Telegram news service. The two human rights representatives of Russia and Ukraine drew a conclusion after the end of the aid operation for the residents of the Russian-occupied city of Oleschki. The two representatives thanked the American First Lady Melania Trump, who mediated, several times for her commitment. They also praised each other for complying with the agreements – a novelty in the otherwise aggressive verbal exchanges of the governments. Dozens of people managed to get to safety during the truce in recent days. This was an unprecedented feat, said the human rights representative of Ukraine, Dmitro Lubinez. His Russian colleague, Jana Lantratowa, drew attention to the more than 1000 people who chose to remain in Oleschki. Although the mission is over, "but the living conditions in Oleschki remain extremely difficult," said Lantratowa. "We are making every effort to support the residents." Therefore, she agreed to further regular aid operations with Lubinez. "That is an important step." The residents evacuated from the city of Oleschki, controlled by Russia, crossed the border to Ukraine. This was announced by President Volodymyr Zelensky via Telegram. Zelensky thanked the United States and First Lady Melania Trump for their mediation. "If the world is attentive, people will be saved," Zelensky wrote. Further steps for de-escalation and real progress on the path to peace are necessary. The residents of Oleschki traveled by bus to Crimea and then flew to Belarus before they could travel to Ukraine from there. The people rescued from the front city of Oleschki were flown out of the Black Sea city of Anapa according to Russian military information. They were brought to Gomel in Belarus together with the Ukrainian human rights representative Dmitro Lubinez by Russian military machines, the Ministry of Defense reported. From there they travel further to Ukraine. It is not yet known how many people were rescued during the evacuation. More than 1000 people may still live in the city isolated from the outside world by Russia. Oleschki had around 24,000 inhabitants before the war. The extremely depopulated region, equipped with many armor plates, is sealed off from the Russian military. The Ukrainian representative Lubinez and his Russian colleague Jana Lantratowa indicated possible further humanitarian actions for the unfortunate people in front cities. The ceasefire for the Cherson region, which is partially controlled by Russia and partially by Ukraine, ends on Sunday evening. The US Department of State has approved the sale of 500 Patriot air defense missiles to Ukraine. The deal is estimated to be worth 2.1 billion dollars and will be fully financed by Ukraine's allies, the department reported. According to American sources, Germany, Canada, and Norway are among those participating in the costs. Patriot-type systems are considered particularly effective in defending against ballistic missiles that Russia uses in its war against Ukraine. With agency material
