“In the past seven days, Russia has killed at least 93 people across Ukraine.... Over 500 people were injured by Russian missiles and drones. Many had to be rescued from the rubble.... Russia deliberately chooses missile and drone terror against civilians.” ~ @mfa_ukraine 🇺🇦💔😢💙💛😢❤️‍🩹🇺🇦

Russia launched a massive combined attack using dozens of missiles and hundreds of drones overnight on July 6, killing at least 14 people and injuring 60 others, including five children. The strikes directly targeted Kyiv and the surrounding region for the second time in four days, partially destroying a multi-story apartment block in the Podilskyi district and hitting residential buildings across three other districts.

Responding to the attack, President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that while air defenses successfully intercepted many drones and cruise missiles, they remain unable to stop ballistic missiles due to a critical shortage of Patriot interceptor systems. Zelensky urged U.S. and European allies ahead of the upcoming NATO summit to make “strong decisions,” warning that delayed defense aid only encourages Russia to keep hitting residential areas.

#Repost @kyivindependent_official with @use.repost_ . . . Russian forces launched a large-scale combined missile and drone attack on Kyiv and the surrounding region overnight on May 24, killing two and injuring over 80 others.

Ukraine’s Air Force said that Russia launched 90 missiles and 600 drones, making the attack one of the largest in the last year.

Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported damage “in every district of the city,” as missile and drone strikes hit across the capital — including central areas that tend to see fewer strikes during Russian attacks.

The National Art Museum, one of the oldest and most important museums in Ukraine, was damaged by a blast wave, according to the Culture Ministry. The collection, which ranges from classic to contemporary art, was not damaged.

The windows to the entrance of the Ukrainian House, a major cultural institution on Kyiv’s central Khreshchatyk Street, were also damaged in the attack. Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said that for the first time since World War II, the Foreign Ministry building sustained damage from an attack, albeit not severely.

Civilian homes and infrastructure were also targeted in the attack.
