Russian drone damages ‘We Are Ukraine’ TV newsroom in Kyiv during live broadcast of Ukraine’s joint United News program
A Russian drone damaged the building of the television channel We Are Ukraine during the September 8 attack on Kyiv.
On September 8, a Russian drone struck the television channel "We Are Ukraine" in Kyiv during a live broadcast of their round-the-clock news program, United News. The attack damaged the building and offices, resulting in injuries to staff members. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned the drone strike, describing it as a "new chapter in Russia's moral decline."
This marks the second time in recent months that Russian strikes have damaged the channel's facilities; an earlier attack on August 20 caused no injuries. United News began broadcasting on February 24, 2022, shortly after Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Since then, several Ukrainian television channels have collaborated on the continuous news broadcast.
