Kyiv apartment building rescue over: 22 killed, youngest 2 years old
Rescue operations have been concluded in Kyiv's Darnytskyi district after the Aug. 28 devastating Russian missile strike on a five-story apartment building, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported on Telegram the following day.
Twenty-two people, including four children, were killed when a section of the building collapsed in the direct hit. The youngest victim was less than three years old.
Debris is being cleared.
The enemy’s massive drone and missile attack on the densely populated neighborhoods of the Ukrainian capital on Aug. 28 killed 23 people. Fifty-three others were injured. Eight people are still missing.
Zelenskyy urged the international community to sanction and pressure Russia for its actions, emphasizing the need to hold Moscow accountable for choosing military action and cooperation with entities like North Korea over diplomacy.
“When Russia chooses ballistics instead of diplomacy, continues to modernize its killing machines, and develops cooperation with entities such as North Korea, it means that the world must respond accordingly,” the president said.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
