Russia continues its war with particular brutality. Killing sleeping civilians. Destroying civilian infrastructure.
My condolences to the victims’ families.
Support for 🇺🇦 will be at the very center of the NATO Summit in 🇹🇷 tomorrow.#WeStandWithUkraine.
Heiko Thoms
Ambassador
For all the morons in my comment section yelling, “but what about Dresden or Hiroshima?”
Let me explain.
There is a difference between tragedy and criminality. Dresden and Hiroshima were decisions made in pursuit of ending the deadliest war in human history. And every option before them carried immense human cost.
By contrast, Putin chose to start an illegal war against a peaceful neighbor. The strikes on Kyiv are part of his campaign to conquer a sovereign nation through terror and coercion. Russia is not trying to stop a genocidal aggressor. Russia IS the aggressor.
Bottom line: there is a profound moral difference between using overwhelming force to end a war of aggression and using indiscriminate violence to prosecute one.
You are forgetting “apartment buildings “ and “schools” in your list of targets. So either these weapons are not so high-precision or your leader is deliberately terrorizing Ukrainian civilians. Which one is it?
It was difficult for me to decide to share this photograph.
A russian missile killed an entire family.
Will this photograph stop the war? Most likely not. But I believe the world needs to see the truth.
I hope those whom this photograph will cause pain can forgive me.

Last night, the Russian regime once again blindly attacked civilians from the air, with over 400 drones and missiles attacking the capital.
Ukraine urgently needs more air defence. We will discuss it this week in Ankara at the @NATO Summit.
Last week we provided the first €4 billion under our €90 billion loan, to strengthen Ukraine's defence with advanced drone technology.
More is coming very soon.
And we are working hard to seal the deal on the 21st sanctions package in the next days.
We will keep increasing the pressure until Russia ends the bloodshed.
Last night, Russians again attacked residential buildings in Kyiv. A new deliberate act of terror. At least 10 civilians were killed.
No one remains who seriously believes that such terrorist attacks affect Ukraine's military readiness. After four and a half years, it's clear they only provoke anger and a desire for revenge. But Russia continues because it can't do anything else.
Russia has once again launched a massive missile attack on the people of Kyiv.
As rescue efforts continue, there are 11 people confirmed killed. My deepest condolences to their families and loved ones. At least 46 others have been injured and are receiving medical care.
Multiple residential buildings were hit. Significant damage has been recorded at 16 locations across the capital. State Emergency Service teams are on the ground, clearing rubble and searching for people who may still be trapped beneath the debris.
This is deliberate, targeted Russian terror against Ukrainian civilians. None of these crimes will go unpunished.
Ми засуджуємо чергову смертоносну російську атаку на Київ та інші області країни, що відбулася минулої ночі. Ми разом із народом України в жалобі за загиблими та бажаємо одужання пораненим. Японія разом з Україною 🇺🇦🇯🇵
Українські технології змінюють хід війни. Роберт «Мадяр» Бровді є прикладом того, як інновації, дані та високоточні удари швидко перетворюються на результати на полі бою.
Наша🇸🇪 військова допомога Україні🇺🇦 водночас зміцнює нашу власну оборону й стримувальний потенціал НАТО.
They were just sleeping peacefully in their home last night. russian war criminals murdered this innocent family with a missile.
These horrific images are impossible to look at — but everyone needs to.
As a reminder why russia and their inhumane crimes must be stopped.
This was a horrific night in Kyiv. Over 20 ballistic missiles. At least 11 killed and dozens injured, including children.
Protect Ukrainian children from Russian ballistic terror! No task is more urgent. This is our main message to the NATO summit this week.
As world leaders are departing for Ankara, I wish they heard what families in Kyiv heard this night.
One of the most brutal attacks with dozens of ballistic missiles. A horrific cannonade of loud explosions one after another.
Russian terrorists struck sleeping civilians, targeting residential high-rises to maximize casualties.
In one of the districts, an entire killed family has been taken out of the rubble: mother, father, and child.
Rescue operations continue and sadly, the numbers are likely to grow.
Putin’s message to Ankara is simple: he is going to point ballistic missiles at sleeping children and continue the murder as long as he can.
What will the leaders of the Alliance respond?
This is not the time for weak steps anymore. They will only encourage Moscow to continue and expand terror beyond Ukraine.
The strongest outcome of the Ankara Summit is to increase Ukraine’s capabilities to protect our children from Russian ballistic terror. We need real steps.
PAC-3 missiles were created to serve the goal of protecting people from such barbarism.
There are thousands of them in storage around the world, kept for potential threats.
But the threats in Ukraine are not potential! Russian missiles are killing people every week.
Ukraine is currently the only country in the world facing ballistic attacks every single week. The means of protection from this terror need to be here.
And we need all decisions on air defense now, not later. Because for us, the time is measured in human lives.
