“Danger not averted” – Russian missiles hit residential buildings in Kiev

Date:

According to official information, two houses were damaged in a Russian missile attack on the Ukrainian capital Kiev and the surrounding area. “Several missiles were shot down by the air defenses over Kiev,” Kiev Mayor Vitali Klitschko wrote on the Telegram news channel on Tuesday. A total of four missiles were shot down over the city alone.

A video of a five-story apartment building on fire was posted to Telegram by Deputy Presidential Chief Kyrylo Tymoshenko (see above). “The danger has not passed yet. Stay in the bomb shelters,” Tymoshenko warned. According to the Kyiv Independent, three houses were hit, all in the same neighborhood where the president’s seat and several government buildings are located. Information on casualties was initially unavailable.

Air raid alarms all over the country
It is the first time in more than two weeks that Russian troops have shelled the Ukrainian capital. There are also reports of strikes in the outskirts of Kiev, as well as attacks in the Odessa, Cherkassy, ​​Kirovohrad, Khmelnytskyi, Kharkiv and Dnepropetrovsk regions. An air raid alarm has now been declared throughout the country. According to Ukrainian media, the missiles were fired over the Caspian Sea.

NATO: Don’t underestimate Russia
Meanwhile, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg warned against underestimating Russia’s military capabilities after recent defeats. “We have seen that Russia is ready to accept huge losses,” the Norwegian said on the sidelines of a meeting of EU defense ministers in Brussels. Moscow has significant military capabilities. In addition, Russia is taking brutal measures against civilians. “We must support Ukraine as long as it takes.”

The Ukrainian army had a great success last week: after successful counter-offensives, the Russians in the southern Kherson region withdrew from the regional capital of the same name and other places on the right bank of the Dnipro. Despite defeats, Russian troops still control almost a fifth of the neighboring country.
