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.
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.
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.
Last night, Russia once again launched a large-scale combined attack against Ukraine.
Our air defense forces intercepted nearly all cruise missiles and more than 90% of the Shahed drones.
However, ballistic missiles once again struck civilian areas. Unable to achieve its objectives on the battlefield, Russia is increasingly directing ballistic missile attacks at residential buildings, killing innocent civilians.
Russia is deliberately escalating its use of ballistic missiles, launching them at a scale not previously seen while exploiting the critical shortage of interceptor missiles for Patriot air defense systems. Worldwide, fewer Patriot interceptor missiles are produced each month than Russia launches against Ukraine over the same period.
Following the President’s discussions with European leaders, I will hold a series of talks today with my counterparts — the defense ministers of countries that have Patriot interceptor missiles in their stockpiles.
We have already signed contracts for Patriot interceptor missiles and continue to secure additional agreements, with deliveries scheduled to begin next year. Our appeal to our partners is straightforward: transfer missiles from your stockpiles now, and replenish them later through our future deliveries.
A simple decision by our partners to temporarily transfer missiles from their stockpiles will save countless Ukrainian lives. We cannot allow bureaucratic caution to become an obstacle to protecting human life.
These missiles belong in Ukraine’s air defense system now — not sitting in stockpiles.
Our priority is to provide Ukraine with additional Patriot interceptor missiles as quickly as possible. The protection of Ukraine’s skies and the lives of our people depend on it.
.@BAFTA затримує трансляцію нагородження по зрозумілим причинам, але на сайті вже є переможці — Мстислав Чернов з командою не отримують нагороду, бо отримують росіяни. Нема слів.
Kyiv this morning. There were no military targets. Just people sleeping in their homes. This is what russia is. Anyone that thinks Putin wants peace is detached from reality.
Ми не приймаємо закон 12414 та не обираємо деградацію.
Саме тому, Запоріжжя, завтра 23.07 зустрічаємось на мирній акції.
Нагадаємо, що носієм суверенітету та єдиним джерелом влади в Україні є народ.
