Why It Matters
Russia is waging an ongoing war of aggression against Ukraine. Kyiv is regularly the target of drone and missile attacks.
These dramatic scenes are the result of a Russian drone attack on the Ukrainian capital. Two men hold on to a house facade with the last of their strength. Thick smoke is pouring out of the building. The rescue came about 20 minutes later: the fire department was able to bring the two of them to safety with ladders.
The building houses the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences. At least two people were killed in this Russian attack. At least 24 people, including several children, were injured in further drone strikes across the city.
»I don't understand this senseless war. I don't understand anything of what's going on. I don't know how to solve this problem. But what is happening here is not right. It’s the ordinary people who suffer – the ordinary people, my God.”
»It's scary. It's scary to go to work and it's scary at home too. I live in the Kurenivka district. Yesterday there were drones flying around there and buzzing over us. You sit there all evening and have nowhere to hide.”
The Ukrainian Air Force also warned last night about ballistic missiles from Russia. Ukrainian Defense Minister Chmara canceled a visit to his German counterpart Boris Pistorius planned for Tuesday due to renewed Russian attacks.
