In the Kyiv region, June 18 has been declared a Day of Mourning for those killed as a result of the enemy attack on Kyiv. On this day, state flags will be lowered, and any entertainment events will be prohibited
The head of the RMA reminded that tonight Russian invaders were beating the city, whose residents were sleeping. The strike was carried out on houses with civilians.
He added that in their propaganda news, the terrorist country calls residential buildings "military objects." More than 100 people were injured, and there are dead. Rescuers continue to work at the scene.
The capital of Ukraine is in smoke from fires. After a terrible night on the ruins of the house, parents pray that their son is alive. This is our reality. The aggressor must answer for every life taken or maimed. Real resistance must become the duty of everyone who calls himself part of the civilized world. Silence or attempts to "understand Russia" is already complicity in the crime
The head of the RMA also expressed his condolences to the families of the victims.
We are with you in your pain. We bow our heads in memory of the innocent Ukrainians killed
