In a video Kyiv mayor Vitali Klitschko revealed that since the beginning of Russia’s assault, six civilians and 14 combatants have been killed in Kyiv. 71 people are wounded, including 25 civilians.
“The situation in the capital of Ukraine remains tense. The enemy failed to enter the city. Still, many Russian saboteur groups remain here. There were clashes and street fights today in Kyiv as the army, law enforcers and the Territorial Defence units fought to neutralise them. As you may know, a missile hit an apartment building in the morning and ruined the top five floors. Russian missiles target residential areas in Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities and villages. Russia kills us. Since the beginning of Russia’s assault, six civilians, including a child and 14 combatants have been killed in Kyiv. 71 people are wounded, including 22 adult civilians and three kids. Russia is blasting our urban infrastructure. This is barbarity and savagery! Russia is crushing our right to decide the future of our country and our children! We defend ourselves. Our army fights heroically to defend our land. This is a hard battle but we have to survive!” he stressed.
