55 heads of foreign diplomatic missions visited a residential building destroyed by a Russian strike in Kyiv’s Darnytskyi district.
This was reported by Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha on social network X.
“Following the barbaric Russian strike on the Ukrainian capital, it was important to visit, together with heads of 55 foreign diplomatic missions, the site of one of the strikes, a ruined residential building in the Darnitsky district. This is a site of a horrible war crime,” he noted.
“At least 14 innocent civilians were killed by Russian terrorists here, including four children. One of the kids was born under Russian strikes in 2022 and killed by the Russian strike this morning.” the Foreign Minister added.
Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko informed the foreign diplomats about the losses and the ongoing recovery efforts. Sybiha stressed the importance of showing the world Russia’s terror and taking action to stop this barbarism. He also thanked the foreign diplomats who joined in honoring the victims.
“Russia is a terrorist state. We count on strong international responses and action to increase pressure on Russia, including new tough sanctions, and strengthen support for Ukraine,” the minister concluded.
On August 28, Kyiv suffered another massive combined attack by Russian forces, which lasted more than nine hours.
