Russia deliberately strikes residential building in Kyiv with 2 cruise missiles

"Indeed, this combined attack is one of the largest. We had 840 (air targets - ed.) - an anti-record. Now we see 629. But there are more missiles than before. And Russia is already using drones with jet engines more often," Ignat said.

He notes that high-speed Russian drones, which were also present that night, were used in different directions and were also destroyed by different means.

"What else is special about this attack? Here, perhaps, the whole world should see the peculiarity of the attack in that two cruise missiles flew directly into a residential building. I think the whole world will be watching these images over and over again," Ihnat emphasizes.

Russian attack on Kyiv

Last night, Kyiv again suffered a massive strike by Russian troops. A Russian missile hit a five-story residential building in the Darnytskyi district, destroying one of the entrances.

According to preliminary data, Russia struck at approximately the level of the third or fourth floor, causing significant damage.

Due to the Russian strike, traffic on a number of key streets has been temporarily blocked, and over 500 rescuers and about 1,000 law enforcement officers are working at the scene. RBC-Ukraine has prepared a report from Kyiv following the Russian attack.

Civilian targets were hit, including residential buildings and infrastructure, and there are reports of injuries and fatalities. Rescue services continue to clear the rubble and provide assistance to those affected.

Ukrainian authorities are urging Kyiv residents to remain in shelters and follow safety rules. The President of Ukraine has appealed to international partners, including China and Hungary, to take decisive action against Russian aggression.
