Voices from the Ground

President Volodymyr Zelensky labelled the onslaught “one of the most horrifying attacks on Kyiv,” calling it pure terrorism. He urged the U.S. and Europe to step up in a show of civilized solidarity.
Olena Kushnirova recounted her own shock: “I saw the missile low, grabbed my daughter, shouted ‘run!’ We sprinted to the toilet and—boom—an explosion shook everything.”

What Residents Saw

A multi‑storey building in the Darnytskyi District was hit by a Russian drone. Residents shouted and rushed outside, yet the sky kept rolling with rockets. Some fled to bomb shelters, all hearts racing.

Diplomatic Fallout

Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha slammed the strike as “massive and brutal,” accusing Putin of deliberately showing disrespect for the U.S. and partners who call for an end to the carnage. He warned only tough pressure on Moscow can shut him down.
