Kiev’s authorities say that the Cremlin forces launched 805 drones and missiles between Saturday evening and Sunday evening
Wrapped in flames. On Sunday the main building of the Ukrainian government in Kiev was released on Sunday after being hit by the Russian fire for the first time since the beginning of the war in 2022.
The symbolic attack occurred in the midst of a new wave of mass bombing by the Kremlin, confirmed the Ukrainian Prime Minister.
Yulia Svyrydenko reported that the ceiling and the upper floors of the ministers’ offices so called were damaged “due to an enemy attack” and that the firefighters worked to extinguish the fire caused by a missile.
The new wave of bombings against the Ukrainian capital has left at least two people killed, including a few months and 32 -year -old mother, said the mayor of the city Vitaly Klitschko.
The victims died when they were affected by the nine -story residential building in the Kiev Svyatoshynsky district where they lived.
Rescuers are looking for a third body, he added.
Ukrainian foreign affairs, Andrii Sybiha, denounced that the accident represents “a serious ascent” of the conflict.
“The greatest cynicism is that these brutal attacks occur just when the president of the United States Donald Trump does everything possible to get peace,” wrote the minister at X (former Twitter).
A symbolic blow
The ministers’ office building is a ten -storey structure built in the Soviet era, between 1936 and 1938, and houses the offices of the main officials of the Ukrainian government.
The building is located a few meters from the headquarters of the Supreme Rada (Parliament) and Mariyinsky Palace, headquarters of the country’s presidency, in what is considered the government’s government district.
On Sunday morning, the correspondent of the BBC in Kiev, Sarah Raininsford, and his team saw a large column of smoke climbing the sky, right behind the iconic Maidán, independence Square, where the building is located.
Then they heard and saw two Russian cruise missiles that move at high speed, before another explosion.
The Ukraine Air Force reported that Russia has launched a record number of 805 drones and rockets in its last night offensive.
The same military sources confirmed that nine missiles and 56 armed driver vehicles hit 37 points of the country, while the wreck of a Russian plane crashed into eight other areas.
Prime Minister Svyrydenko requested more serious penalties against Moscow and has increased the supply of weapons in his country.
A clear message
The new attack occurred a few days after the Russian president Vladimir Putin, inducing his warning to the West so as not to continue to help the Ukrainian and economically military military.
Moscow also attacked Krivói Rog, the hometown of President Volodymyr Zelensky, in the center of Ukraine, where three structures were affected, according to local authorities.
The anti -aeromobile warning sirens were triggered at all regions of the country at night.
In the capital of the eastern region of Zaporizehzia, 17 people were injured during the attacks, which damaged 16 condominiums, 12 houses, a day center and factories, said the head of the regional administration, Ivan Fedoov.
The Kiev authorities, in a first provisional balance, reported that several residential buildings with several floors in the Districts of Svyatoshykyi (West) and Darnytskyi (South -est) were partially destroyed and on flames after being affected directly.
“The Russians are deliberately attacking civil structures,” said Tymur Tkachenko, head of the military administration of Kiev, who asked the city’s residents to stay in the shelters.
Multiple explosions were listened to in the capital in the early hours of the morning, including at least one in the city center, lifting suspicions that several cruise missiles managed to cross the Ukrainian anti -aircraft defenses.
Ukraine also attacked
Russia did not comment on the attacks reported in Ukraine.
However, in a declaration, the Russian Ministry of Defense declared that it had deducted or intercepted 69 Ukrainian drones in various regions of the country.
In turn, the head of the strength of the drones of Ukraine Robert “Magyar” Brovdi said that one of his pilot -free vehicles damaged a gas pipeline in the Russian western region of Bryansk.
“Installation is of strategic importance for the transport of oil products from the refineries Belarusse to the Russian Federation,” he explained in his account on Telegram.
At the beginning of this week, Putin rejected the western proposals to send a “security force” to Ukraine shortly after the entry into force of a possible ceased. The proposal had been approved in a summit in Paris, intended to finalize the plans for security guarantees.
French President Emmanuel Macron said that 26 Ukrainian allies formally committed to sending troops to the ground, sea or plane “to contribute to the safety of the country as soon as the fights ceased.
Putin tried to stop the initiative, warning that any foreign force sent to Ukraine would be a “legitimate target” for his army.
Since Russia launched its large -scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, she has managed to control about 20% of the Ukrainian territory, including the Southern Crimean Peninsula, illegally attached in 2014.
