Russia has struck a cynical blow against civilian Ukraine — Zelenskyy

The head of state announced this on the morning of June 23.

After the strikes on Iran's nuclear program facilities, there was a lot of noise from Moscow — the Russian leadership demonstratively condemned the "missile-bomb" steps. Today, Moscow is silent after the Russian army struck an absolutely cynical blow with Russian-Iranian "Shaheds" and missiles at the civilian infrastructure of Kyiv and other our cities and communities. In Kyiv alone, five apartment buildings were damaged. These are ordinary residential buildings. As of now, six people are known to have been killed.

Zelensky noted that another person was killed by this strike in Bila Tserkva in the Kyiv region. There, the "Shahed" hit a hospital.

He added that rescuers are currently clearing the rubble and providing assistance wherever needed.

This strike damaged facilities in four regions. In total, there were 352 drones, including 159 martyrs, and 16 missiles that night. According to preliminary data, ballistic missiles from North Korea were also used. A significant part of the drones and missiles were shot down by our sky defenders. But not all of them.
