This is not the first Russian strike to damage the TV channel's premises. On the night of August 20, the "We Are Ukraine" office was damaged during a massive attack on Kyiv. At that time, the building's windows were blown out, the newsroom sustained significant damage, and part of the ceiling in the corridors was brought down by the blast wave
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called the attack "a new chapter in Russian degradation" and emphasized the need for an international response to strikes on Ukrainian media.
Today, Russia struck the media and journalists. A strike drone attacked the building of the "We Are Ukraine" TV channel of the "United News" telethon. In the middle of the day. Precisely when the journalists were on air. The building was partially destroyed. All the necessary services are working at the site
He noted that SESU personnel had already extinguished the fire. As of now, five injured people are known to have been reported. Unfortunately, the number may still increase.
Shaheds" against the media—this is a new chapter in Russian degradation, and there must certainly be a response from Europe and the world to this. No strike against Ukraine and Ukrainians—against life—can be left unpunished. Russia must be stopped, and this is possible only through joint efforts
