At the site of a Russian strike on a five-story building in the Darnytskyi district of Kyiv, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy paid tribute to those who lost their lives.
The Head of State laid flowers at the destroyed building, which was hit by a Russian missile on the night of August 28. As a result of the attack, 22 residents of the building were killed, including four children.
The President expressed his condolences to the families who lost their loved ones and spoke with residents about their needs regarding housing, document recovery, and compensation. Volodymyr Zelenskyy instructed all relevant authorities to provide maximum assistance to those affected in resolving all their problems.
“We will resolve this issue, as we have in other cases, quickly. Temporary housing is available. You will definitely receive compensation soon so that you can rent an apartment and later have your own home. The state is taking action, and the relevant programs are in place,” said Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
During this missile and drone attack on Ukraine, Russia launched nearly 600 drones and 31 missiles, including ballistic ones. Dozens of buildings, enterprises, and diplomatic facilities were damaged. In the capital alone, 25 people were killed in the attack, more than 50 were wounded, and dozens remain hospitalized.
Minister of Internal Affairs Ihor Klymenko reported to the Head of State that over 300 people sought psychological support. Overall, damage was recorded at 19 locations across six districts of the city. Search and rescue operations lasted a day and a half and were only fully completed late today.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy thanked the rescuers, police officers, and everyone who assisted the victims and worked to eliminate the consequences of the attack.
