The Russian army attacked the Ukrainian Cabinet building for the first time on the night of September 7. Footage has emerged showing the inside of the building after the Russian strike, according to Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko on Telegram.
"Fortunately, no one was injured. The fire has been extinguished. I thank the rescuers. Russian terror will not stop the work of the government. We will restore the damage. But the lives of Ukrainians cannot be returned," she said.
During the night, four people were killed and more than 44 were injured in Ukraine due to the Russian attacks.

Svyrydenko emphasized that Russia does not want peace. The Prime Minister urged partners and all countries of the world to "turn their outrage over Russian crimes into concrete support for Ukraine. Not for the walls of this building, but to protect our people and communities across the country."
"Now is the time to act. Ukraine needs more air defense systems to protect our skies and energy infrastructure, especially as winter approaches. Increase sanctions pressure on Russia to reduce resources for its military machine. All of this is possible — the tools are in your hands," she stressed.
This is how the headquarters of Ukraine’s government now looks after this morning's Russian attack. Our whole team works in this building daily. Fortunately, no one was injured. Russian barbarism will not halt the work of Ukraine’s government.
