Macron Says Russia Can’t Win in Ukraine After Missile Strike on Mall

The strike killed at least 18 people in Kremenchuk

France's president denounced Russia's fiery airstrike on a crowded shopping mall in Ukraine as a “new war crime” Tuesday and vowed the West’s support for Kyiv would not waver, saying Moscow "cannot and should not win" the war.
