7 killed including two children in Russian air strike

The war between Russia and Ukraine is becoming more and more aggressive. Meanwhile, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said on Friday that the Belarusian armed forces were not participating in the war against Ukraine. At the same time, he said that our army will not participate in Russia's military operation in Ukraine. Lukashenko, a very close ally of Russia, said he had a long telephone conversation with President Vladimir Putin on Friday.

At least seven people, including two children, were killed on Friday in a Russian airstrike on a rural residential area in the Kyiv region, Ukrainian police said in a statement. Police said the strike was carried out in the village of Markhalivka, about 10 kilometers (6 miles) from the south-west outskirts of the capital.
