Desperate search for survivors of Ukrainian shopping mall attack in rubble as 18 people could be killed in Russian missile attack
- At least 18 people could die, including 11 who were in the toy store
- More than 40 people are unexplained and their families are seeking help
- When the Russian missile hit, there were 1,000 people in the Kremenchuk mall.
Desperate relatives of the missing victims of the Ukrainian shopping mall attack sought help yesterday to find their loved ones.
Among the scenes seeking information from passers-by was Ihor Ivacenko, who worked at Amster Mall when his girlfriend Tatiana Brigadirenko was attacked by a Russian missile attack.
At least 18 people are at risk of death, including 11 found in toy stores. But last night more than 40 people weren’t explained.
The list of missing persons has been pinned to the police station, and relatives have left a message at the attack site in the central city of Kremenchuk. Last night, some workers at the consumer electronics store Comfy were still missing, including Elena Poliakova.

Another Amstor employee, 21-year-old Sofia Vinnik, was known to have been working. Other appeals were made on social media, including Anna Vovnenko, who was with his mother when the missile hit.
Her mother is currently hospitalized among about 50 injured. Another complaint said that for 44-year-old Alyona Velichko, she intended to meet her friend near the mall.
Devastation: Flame Mall
When it was attacked, I was afraid that there might be as many as 1,000 people inside. Yesterday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky denounced Russia’s actions as “one of the most daring terrorist attacks in European history.” Russia has accused Ukraine of launching an attack.
