The headquarters of the Ukraine Government was burned in kyiv after a wave of Night Russian bombings this Sunday, September 7. This air attack left at least five dead people, including two in kyiv, and more than twenty injured.
Last night, Russia took 810 drones and 13 missiles from the country, of which 747 and four respectively were intercepted, according to the Ukraine Air Force. This is the most important air attack since the beginning of the war.
• The headquarters of the affected government
“For the first time, the roof and the upper floors of the government seat have been damaged due to an enemy attack,” said Prime Minister Iulia Svydenko on Telegram, publishing images of flames that escape from the facade of the imposing building near the presidency and Parliament.
In the city center, an AFP journalist has seen smoke leaving the building that houses the Council of Ministers, helicopters that drop water on the roof. While diplomatic efforts initiated by the president of the United States, Donald Trump, to end the fighting in recent days, air alerts have been triggered throughout the country during the night.
“The fire has already been extinguished, but rescuers are disassembling and watering the structures to restore the building as a condition and make sure everything is in order,” said Pavlo Petrov, spokesman for emergency services, at the beginning of the afternoon.
In the Ukrainian capital, several residential buildings have also been damaged. The two deceased are a young woman and her two -month -old son, said Mayor Vitali Klitschko.
• Russia claims to have directed military sites
Russia said Sunday that it had only signed up for military and infrastructure sites during bombing in Ukraine, after kyiv said that the building that houses the government headquarters had been affected.
The Russian army “hit sites of the Ukrainian military-industrial complex and transport infrastructure,” said the Ministry of Defense in a statement.
• Macron denounces a “horror logic”
“Russia is always a little more locked in the logic of war and terror,” said Emmanuel Macron on Sunday. The French president has pointed out in X of the strikes carried out “indiscriminately, including (in) residential areas and the government headquarters”, ensuring that France continues “doing everything for a fair and lasting peace to prevail.”
“The Kremlin flies to diplomacy, the multitude of international law and kill without discernment,” said the president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen.
Russia’s latest “cowardly” attacks show Ukraine shows that Russian President Vladimir Putin does not take peace seriously, “said British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
“The world must respond to this destruction not only by words, but for actions. We must strengthen the pressure of sanctions, mainly against Russian oil and gas,” argued the Ukrainian prime minister, and also demanded “weapons.”
• Negotiations at the point
The Kremlin forces occupy a total of around 20% of the Ukrainian territory. The last weeks have been marked by intense diplomatic activity for a conflict agreement with a summit on August 15 between Mr. Trump and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin in Alaska, followed by a visit to Washington by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky accompanied by several European leaders.
But tangible progress has not been recorded and Russia rejects calls to the high fire after three and a half years of the most fatal conflict in Europe since World War II.
Twenty -six, essentially European countries, were committed despite everything in Paris to contribute to security guarantees for Ukraine to avoid a possible new attack by Russia, after a hypothetical cessation of hostilities. Donald Trump announced Thursday that he would soon be with Vladimir Putin.
