Russia Kills 24 in Missile Attack on Apartment Building

Russia continues to attack civilian targets in Ukraine.

United 24 reports from Kiev:

Ukraine honored a 3-day ceasefire from May 9 to 11 at putin’s request so russia could hold its Victory Day parade uninterrupted. Just days later, russia launched one of its largest missile and drone attacks on Kyiv, once again targeting civilians in their homes.

In one district, a russian missile strike caused part of a residential building to collapse, trapping people, including children, under the rubble in the middle of the night.

Rescue workers searched through the debris for more than 28 hours. Emergency workers cleared more than 3,000 cubic meters of destroyed building structures.

24 people were killed. Among them were 3 children. 48 more were injured, including a newborn baby.

One of the children killed was 12-year-old Liubava Yakovlieva, a 6th grade student. Another victim was 15-year-old Mariia, who died together with her father and grandmother.

Among those killed were also Maryna, an English teacher, Svitlana, a kindergarten teacher, and many other Ukrainians whose lives were stolen by russia, leaving devastated families behind.

Every day, russian missiles take the lives of Ukrainian children, destroy families, and steal futures that should have belonged to them.

Today, Kyiv is in mourning for the victims of the May 14 attack. We honor the memory of everyone whose life has been taken by russia, and send our deepest condolences to their families and loved ones.

For Ukrainians, “protecting the sky” is not an abstract phrase. It means children getting to wake up in the morning. Families surviving the night. Homes staying intact.Join the Sky Defense fundraiser to save more lives
