The number of casualties has increased as a result of Russia's morning combined attack on Kyiv and the Kyiv region.
According to the State Emergency Service of Ukraine's press service, at least 5 people have been killed and 13 others injured in Kyiv.
"We have just learned, right now, that we already have 5 killed in this building, unfortunately. We have rescued 10 people," says Vodolaha.
