All day today, recovery efforts have been underway after the Russian strike – in Zaporizhzhia, Kyiv, Kyiv region, and other regions of our country. The majority of the hits were on ordinary residential buildings and civilian facilities. More than 80 people were injured. Sadly, 4 people were killed, including one child. My condolences to their families and loved ones.
In Kyiv, among the affected facilities was the Strazhesko Institute – the Institute of Cardiology – one of the leading medical institutions in our country and across our region in Europe. Two people were killed there, and one of the buildings suffered significant damage. Restoration must be carried out as quickly as possible, and the Government should provide assistance. In total, only in Kyiv, 32 locations sustained damage.
The Russian strike on Zaporizhzhia was extremely brutal. Fortunately, there were no fatalities, but in the Zaporizhzhia region alone nearly 40 people were injured last night. All of them are receiving the necessary assistance.
I want to thank everyone involved in the rescue operations – all our State Emergency Service workers, EMS, doctors, nurses, police officers, and the municipal services. There were also Russian strikes on energy facilities. Unfortunately, this has already become a traditional Russian tactic – Russia is once again trying to hit Ukraine with a blackout this year.
