TL;DR Summary

At least 17 people, including a child, were killed in a deliberate attack on a market street in the "peaceful" city of Kostyantynivka in eastern Ukraine. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky blamed Moscow for the attack and warned that the death toll could rise. The attack, which occurred near the front line, is the worst of its kind in several months. Russia has not yet claimed responsibility. An investigation has been launched, and Ukraine's prosecutor-general is pursuing criminal proceedings for war crimes against the Russian Federation. The attack coincided with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken's visit to Ukraine, where he was expected to announce a new aid package for the country.
