russia struck today in broad daylight in the heart of Kyiv, near where I and many diplomats live.💔
The strike hit HQ of 🇺🇦 State Security Service, right across the street from St. Sophia Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site!!
This is absolutely outrageous. This attacks shows, once again, how little Moscow cares about peace. We must support 🇺🇦!
Russia struck an apartment building in Kyiv with jet powered drone ‼️
I'm old enough to remember when we considered things like this terrorism, and the Western world got together to fight it.
Currently at a subway station sheltering from ru drones watching a kindergarten teacher quite literally holding class with children sitting in a circle around her
For several days, Russians are pouring drones and missiles on Kyiv's civilian population, aimed purely at residential buildings, healthcare facilities, shopping areas.
Average daily death count over the past four days is now 15.
Dozens of civilians killed, non-stop perpetual attacks, over 15 air raids per day, I’ve literally lost count, it’s taking a toll on everybody here, I just really want to believe someone out there in the west still cares
We remember.
Last year, these four families were killed by russia. Entire families — wiped out in their homes, in their towns, across Ukraine.
This is not a “war” - it is genocide. Its aim is simple: to erase the Ukrainian people.
Mrs Halyna Kucher, principal of a Kyiv school, was killed by Russia today.
Her husband and three-year-old grandson were killed today, too.
Mrs Halyna underwent cancer treatments for many years.
Deepest condolences...
💔 She was only 13.
For 45 days, Oleksandra Makukha fought for her life after a russian drone struck her family's home in Ukraine's Sumy region on June 22.
Her mother pulled her from the rubble with burns covering 40% of her body. Doctors fought to save her, but yesterday her heart stopped.
The same russian strike killed her 73-year-old grandmother, her 36-year-old stepfather, and her 12-year-old stepbrother.
One drone.
One family.
Four lives erased.
This is what russia calls "liberation."
This is terrorism.
This is genocide.
Never let the world look away.
Russia used cluster warheads in its ballistic missile strike on Kyiv.
Cluster munitions break apart in the air and scatter dozens of small bombs over a large area. They are designed to hit as many people and targets as possible, not just one specific location. When used in cities, they are especially dangerous because they can kill civilians over a wide area, and some of the small bombs don’t explode immediately, remaining deadly long after the attack.
As someone living in Kyiv, I’m begging you:
Please help us stop this.
Almost every night, russia strikes Kyiv with ballistic missiles, hitting civilians, homes, and warehouses.
We can’t stop these missiles because we don’t have enough Patriot systems.
People are dying.
Please don’t look away. Share what’s happening in Ukraine. Help us save lives.
