World leaders have denounced Russia’s deadly strike on a shopping centre in the Ukrainian city of Kremenchuk as “abominable” and a war crime.

The search for survivors continues after the missile strike on a mall that had hundreds of people in it at the time, according to Ukraine’s president, Volodoymyr Zelenskiy.
