According to the statement, a 63-year-old woman sustained injuries incompatible with life as a result of the hit on a house.

Earlier, ZMINA reported that the Russian Armed Forces killed four people and injured ten others in the Donetsk and Kherson Oblasts on March 1. 

The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine published information as of 08:00 on February 28. According to the statement, the Ukrainian and Russian forces have clashed 128 times throughout the war zone over the past 24 hours, with the Pokrovsk front seeing the fiercest fighting.

“Yesterday (February 27 – Ed.), the enemy launched one missile strike and 91 airstrikes, firing one missile and dropping 128 guided aerial bombs. Additionally, the enemy carried out over 5,000 attacks, including 162 from multiple-launch rocket systems, and used 2,865 kamikaze drones in its bombardments,” the statement reads.

ZMINA consistently reports on the ongoing international crimes in the Kherson Oblast.

Russia’s war against Ukraine escalated dramatically on February 24, 2022, when Russia launched a full-scale invasion into Ukrainian territory. This marked a significant intensification of hostilities that had been ongoing since 2014, following Russia’s attempt to annex the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and fights in Eastern Ukraine.  

According to the estimates of the UN Refugee Agency, 10.6 million Ukrainians have been displaced due to the war. Within Ukraine, 3.7 million people are internally displaced, while 6.9 million continue to receive protection as refugees abroad.

Over 2 million homes across Ukraine have been damaged or destroyed, accounting for 10% of the country’s housing stock.

Repeated Russian attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure leave people without electricity and heating, further complicating the already strained work of local services.

The UNHCR pointed out that mental health has also been severely affected due to the constant threat of attacks, prolonged separation from family, and cumulative trauma. Children are particularly vulnerable – 1.5 million are at risk of long-term mental health consequences.

Inside Ukraine, 12.7 million people need humanitarian assistance.

The impact of the war on the economy is significant – agricultural and industrial hubs in the east have been destroyed, and approximately 30% of pre-war jobs have been lost.

In related news, US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky clashed in a fiery exchange during a state visit to Washington, D.C.

An opposition MP in Ukraine’s parliament, Inna Sovsun, told the BBC that she was shocked by the exchange that unfolded at the Oval Office.

“We did not expect this level of aggression towards our president,” Inna Sovsun said.

Former United States Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice assessed this meeting as being set up for Zelenskyy.

Later, Zelenskyy wrote in a post on X that America’s help has been vital in helping us survive, and I want to acknowledge that.

“Despite the tough dialogue, we remain strategic partners. But we need to be honest and direct with each other to truly understand our shared goals.”

He added that Ukraine is “very grateful” to the United States for all the support, especially during the three years of full-scale invasion, and thanks President Trump.
