What came before

On the night of September 7, the Russian army attacked Kyiv with Shaheds and missiles. Residential buildings in the Sviatoshynskyi and Darnytskyi districts were hit.

In the Pecherskyi District, a government building was damaged for the first time, and a fire broke out. Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko called on the world to respond to Moscow’s terror not with words, but with action.

As a result of the strike on a residential building in the Sviatoshynskyi District, 32-year-old Viktoriia Hrebeniuk and her three-month-old son Roman were killed. The blast threw the mother and baby out of a sixth-floor window. The child’s father sustained severe injuries.

As reported by OBOZ.UA, U.S. President’s Special Representative for Ukraine Keith Kellogg warned that such Russian strikes carry the risk of further escalation and demonstrate that Moscow is not seeking peace.
