For the first time since the beginning of the war, Russia attacked the building of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, resulting in a fire. The hit on the government building on the night of September 7 was confirmed by Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko. Amidst the massive attack by the Russian Armed Forces on Ukraine, the government official called on partners to strengthen sanctions against Russian oil and gas and introduce new restrictions against the Kremlin's war machine. This is reported by UNN with reference to Svyrydenko's Telegram channel.

Tonight, Russia launched another massive strike on Ukraine. Kyiv, Kryvyi Rih, Dnipro, Kremenchuk, and Odesa came under fire. Thus, for the first time, the Government building, its roof and upper floors, were damaged by an enemy attack. Rescuers are extinguishing the fire. I thank them for their work.

"We will restore the buildings. But lost lives cannot be brought back. The enemy terrorizes and kills our people every day across the country. The world must react to these destructions not only with words, but with actions. Sanctions pressure needs to be strengthened — first and foremost against Russian oil and gas. New restrictions are needed that will hit the Kremlin's war machine," Svyrydenko added.

According to the Prime Minister, the main thing is that Ukraine needs weapons.

"That which will stop the terror and prevent Russia from trying to kill Ukrainians every day," Svyrydenko summarized.
