Ρωσική επίθεση με βαλλιστικούς πυραύλους σημειώθηκε το βράδυ της Τετάρτης, 21 Οκτωβρίου, στο Κίεβο, προκαλώντας ζημιές σε κατοικίες, πρατήριο καυσίμων και εξοπλισμό μεταφορών, ενώ έξι άνθρωποι τραυματίστηκαν.
Σύμφωνα με τον δήμαρχο της ουκρανικής πρωτεύουσας, Βιτάλι Κλίτσκο, πλήγματα σημειώθηκαν σε δύο συνοικίες στην ανατολική πλευρά του ποταμού Δνείπερου, ο οποίος διασχίζει την πόλη. Από τους έξι τραυματίες, οι τέσσερις μεταφέρθηκαν σε νοσοκομεία για νοσηλεία.
Περισσότερες από δύο ώρες μετά την αρχική προειδοποίηση για την επίθεση, οι αρχές εξακολουθούσαν να προειδοποιούν τους κατοίκους για τον κίνδυνο νέων επιθέσεων με drones.
Three waves of ballistic missiles have been launched at Kyiv by Russian “humanitarians” since yesterday evening. They used 21 missiles. Unfortunately, numerous sites across the city have been hit and damaged: ordinary residential buildings, energy facilities, infrastructure at one of the railway stations and the metro, shopping malls, and businesses. Even a monastery is among the damaged sites. Our emergency services are working at all the affected locations. Twelve of our regions came under Russian attack overnight. In Kyiv and across the regions, 34 people were injured, including five children. As of now, two people have been confirmed killed. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Almost immediately after another round of talks, Russia launched a pointed attack. This means there has been no real change in its attitude toward everything that is happening. It is important to keep trying to find the right solutions to end this war. But when Russia responds to negotiations with ballistic missiles, real pressure on Russia is needed to bring about different steps – steps toward ending the killing. Stronger air defenses and the rapid delivery of missiles, the ability to destroy ballistic missile launchers, sanctions over the war – all of this must be in place. I am grateful to everyone who sees the situation for what it is and acknowledges the reality. The aggressor deserves to be treated accordingly. Ukraine deserves support. People’s lives deserve protection. Thank you to everyone who stands with Ukraine!
