Kyiv Mayor Vitaliy Klychko, who visited the damaged building, said 18 apartments had been destroyed. He also said the attack had disrupted the city’s water supply.<\/p>\n
More than 1,500 rescuers and police officers are working in the aftermath of Russia’s overnight attacks, almost 600 of them in Kyiv, Minister of Internal Affairs Ihor Klymenko said.<\/p>\n
Dozens of people have been recovered from the damaged building and more than 10 people are thought to be missing, he said in a statement, with canine units involved in the search.<\/p>\n
Teams say they have moved more than 20 cubic metres of debris and evacuated five damaged vehicles.<\/p>\n
The strikes also damaged other residential buildings, a school, a veterinary clinic and other infrastructure in Kyiv, according to Zelensky.<\/p>\n
The large-scale attack saw Russian drones fly across much of Ukraine, with the regions of Kremenchuk, Bila Tserkva, Kharkiv, Sumy, and Odesa also coming under fire, Prime Minister Svyrydenko said.<\/p>\n
“Ukraine needs help in strengthening its air defense,” she wrote on social media. “This is the only way to save our people and our cities.”<\/p>\n
Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha condemned Russian President Vladimir Putin for the “barbaric attack”, which he said showed Moscow was pursuing “aggression and terror” over peace.<\/p>\n
He noted the attack had taken place during a crucial summit between US President Donald Trump and China’s Xi Jinping, and urged the two leaders to exert pressure on Russia.<\/p>\n
“I am certain that the leaders of the United States and China have enough leverage over Moscow to tell Putin to finally end the war,” he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kyiv Mayor Vitaliy Klychko, who visited the damaged building, said 18 apartments had been destroyed.
