As a result of the large-scale Russian attack on Kyiv, destruction was recorded in various districts of the city, including the collapse of a five-story building, according to the head of the President’s Office, Andriy Yermak.

"Everything you need to know about the terrorist state, Putin, and their so-called ‘striving’ for peace," Yermak captioned the photo.

The photo shows extensive destruction of the building and heavy smoke. Earlier, Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported that in Kyiv’s Darnytskyi district, residential buildings were damaged by the Russian strike, including a five-story building that suffered destruction from the first through the fifth floors.

As of 05:26 AM Kyiv time, three people were confirmed dead, including one child, and more than 10 others were injured.

More details on the strike on the capital can be found in the RBC-Ukraine report.

Ukraine is under a massive attack by Russian Shahed drones, with launches reported from several directions.
