Ukraine-Krieg: Klitschko: 15 Tote nach russischen Angriffen auf Kiew

Ukrainian Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported that at least 15 people were killed and 34 injured in recent Russian attacks on the capital, Kyiv. The attacks involved the use of ballistic missiles, causing fires, power outages, and damage to government buildings, including a high-rise building, a children's hospital, and a school. President Volodymyr Selenskyj described it as a massive combined attack targeting the city's civilian infrastructure, while Russia claimed they had prepared for weeks to cause maximum damage.

Selenskyj criticized the Russian aggression, while Selenskyj urged the city to lower flags to half-mast and recommended the same for state and private buildings. Meanwhile, Russian authorities reported numerous Ukrainian drone attacks on various targets, with Moscow's Mayor Sergey Sobyanin confirming that 250 Ukrainian drones were shot down during the invasion.
