Belgorod governor: 25 residents killed by shelling, 96 more injured since Russia invaded Ukraine
In a meeting with President Vladimir Putin, Belgorod Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov told him that 25 residents had been killed, and 96 more injured, as a result of Ukrainian shelling since the start of the war (which he called a “special military operation”). “Our adversary, Ukraine, is shelling peaceful civilian towns,” said Gladkov. The governor emphasized that the victims’ families receive the same amount of financial compensation as the families of killed and wounded Russian troops.
