68 missiles
351 attack drones
Yet another Ukrainian night turned into hell because of russia’s obsession with murdering civilians.
russia spends hundreds of millions to commit genocide.
We raise funds to save people from it.

🚨 BREAKING: Lack of interceptors left Ukraine unable to stop ballistic missiles during massive attack, Zelenskyy says.
"While Patriot missiles remain in allies' warehouses, it only encourages Russia to keep 'defeating' residential buildings," added Zelenskyy.
По Україні гуляє купа навідників, зрадників, проросійськіх ждунів. Нуль покарання, нуль обмеження. Кожна тварина в інтернеті несе що хоче, якісь борцуни за права людей, відкривають офіси. Знову держава самоусунулась від своїх обов'язків. Знову все на ініціативі патріотів
Знову жахлива ніч для Києва та області 💔
Станом на зараз відомо про 14 загиблих. Ще майже 60 людей отримали поранення, серед них – 5 дітей.
Висловлюємо співчуття рідним і близьким загиблих 🫂
росія вкотре довела, що є державою-терористом. Донатьте на військо, щоб за кожен її злочин прилітала сильна відповідь.

Last night, Kyiv came under a massive Russian attack. Russia launched 68 missiles and 351 attack drones. Response efforts are still underway. Damage has been recorded at more than 10 locations across the city, including residential buildings. All necessary services are on the ground, doing everything possible to rescue people and provide assistance to everyone who needs it. So far, 64 people have been rescued, including two children. As of now, it has been confirmed that, tragically, eleven people were killed in this attack. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Around 60 more people were injured.
In the Kyiv region, sixteen people were injured and three people were killed. My condolences to their families and loved ones. A fire is still burning at the site of the missile strike in Vyshneve. People are being evacuated from a residential area. More than 400 first responders and police officers have been deployed to deal with the aftermath of the attack.
Our warriors performed well today in intercepting drones and cruise missiles, but unfortunately not Russian ballistic missiles. And the reason lies in the insufficient supply of interceptor missiles. It is critically important that the world – first and foremost the United States and our European partners – come out of the NATO Summit in Ankara with strong decisions in support of our air defense, and thus the protection of ordinary people’s lives. As long as Patriot missiles remain in our allies' stockpiles, Russia is only encouraged to keep “vanquishing” residential buildings. The United States and Europe have enough strength to stop this terror.
Цієї ночі Київ був під масованим російським ударом. Росія випустила 68 ракет і ще 351 ударний дрон. Зараз триває ліквідація наслідків. Пошкодження зафіксовані більш ніж на 10 локаціях міста, зокрема в житлових будинках. На місцях працюють усі необхідні служби, які роблять максимум, щоб урятувати людей і надати допомогу кожному, хто її потребує. Станом на зараз вдалося врятувати 64 людини, серед них дві дитини. Станом на зараз відомо, що, на жаль, через цю атаку загинули 11 людей. Мої співчуття рідним і близьким. Ще близько 60 людей поранено.
На Київщині 16 постраждалих, загинуло троє людей. Мої співчуття рідним і близьким. У Вишневому триває пожежа на місці ракетного удару. Проводиться евакуація людей із приватного сектора. До ліквідації наслідків атаки залучено понад 400 рятувальників і поліцейських.
Наші воїни показали сьогодні хороші результати у збитті дронів та крилатих ракет, але, на жаль, не по російській балістиці. І причина – саме у недостатніх постачаннях ракет-перехоплювачів. Дуже важливо щоб світ, передусім Америка й наші європейські партнери, вийшли із саміту НАТО в Анкарі із сильними рішеннями на підтримку нашого захисту неба, а отже, захисту життів звичайних людей. Поки ракети до «петріотів» залишаються на складах союзників, це тільки заохочує Росію далі «перемагати» житлові будинки. У США та Європи є достатньо сили цей терор зупинити.
Every Russian missile launched against Ukraine carries a message far beyond our borders. It seeks to convince the world that violence can replace law, that fear is stronger than solidarity, and that brutality comes without consequence.
Following Russia's second massive missile and drone attack in just a few days, Ukraine is requesting an emergency meeting of the @UN Security Council.
Overnight, Russia killed at least 11 people — and the number may grow. The previous attack on July 2nd claimed at least 31 civilian lives in Kyiv.
We call on the DRC Presidency and the Council’s members to support Ukraine's request. Delayed or weak responses cannot stop the terror. Only strong, principled, and timely action will.
The international community must stand united to deter the aggressor and continue advancing a comprehensive, just, and lasting peace in line with the UN Charter.
Meanwhile in Poland’s internal politics, the president’s top advisor accuses the government of the greatest sin: secretly providing Ukraine with some Patriot interceptors so that fewer people will get killed by Putin in Kyiv.
The current Polish-Ukrainian crisis is about horrible things that happened before anyone involved, and in most cases before the parents of anyone involved — including Nawrocki’s and Zelensky’s — were even born.
There are horrible things happening in Kyiv right this morning. There will be many more if Russia, which benefits most from the spat between Warsaw and Kyiv, is not 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.
Video footage shows the moment that a Russian ballistic or cruise missile struck a residential block containing several high-rise apartment building earlier tonight in the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv.
19 ballistic missiles struck Kyiv in 10 minutes. The attack is going on. Another residential building damaged. People trapped under the rubble. It's the second massive air assault on Kyiv in five days. Ukraine needs more air defense!!! #SkyShieldNow
Russia is again attacking civilian targets in Kyiv tonight. Residents might have been watching the World Cup as the missiles fell. Such attacks are a feature, not a bug, of Russian tactics since its full-scale invasion four and a half years ago. #Ukraine (photo via Reuters)
Once again, Russia is attacking civilian infrastructure. Another terrorist act by Russia amid its massive economic problems.
A terrorist country that must be isolated from the civilized world.
russia launched an evening airstrike on Zaporizhzhia.
A police officer was killed in the attack. At least 9 people were injured, including another police officer, 4 men, 3 women, and a child. The number of injured is still being updated.
A building was destroyed and caught fire, while a residential building was also damaged.
Help protect Ukrainians from russian attacks.

‼️The first footage of the impacts from Kyiv.
Why are we living in a reality where there are phone calls, negotiations, and handshakes with Putin, Russians, and Russia in general?
How is it possible that, for five years in a row, Ukraine still cannot get enough Patriot air defense systems, to protect its civilians, from democratic countries that call themselves allies, despite having enough of these systems in their stockpiles?
How did we end up here?
Something is deeply wrong with this world...
