Consequences of the attack

Among those injured as a result of the attack were six people aged between 35 and 68. Two of them sustained moderate injuries and were hospitalized, while four of the injured received assistance on-site. The shelling also caused damage to:

• energy facilities,
• multi-apartment residential buildings,
• hospitals,
• kindergartens,
• other social infrastructure facilities.

This incident highlights the growing tension in the region and the seriousness of the threats faced not only by military but also by civilian objects. Poland, as one of Ukraine's allies, may view this attack as a violation of international norms, which could lead to new diplomatic tensions between countries. The support of the international community remains crucial in response to aggression, as do measures to ensure the safety of consular institutions in Ukraine.
