59 people have perished in places where many people believed they were safe from the violence of the war against Russia, which is now in its eleventh week, leaving the people of Ukraine in sorrow.
Since Russia began its special operations, numerous Ukrainian lives have been lost in missile attacks, on the battlefield, and as civilians in theatres, apartment buildings, and schools. The people of Ukraine have suffered irreparable losses.
However, by any standard, this week appears to have been extremely brutal for Ukrainian citizens.
