European Commission President condemns strike on National Academy of Sciences: Science becomes target for Russia today
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen condemned the Russian strike carried out earlier today on the building of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) of Ukraine in Kyiv’s Shevchenkivsky district.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy vowed that Russia would face consequences following a devastating attack on Ukraine's National Academy of Sciences in Kyiv on September 28. The strike also targeted other civilian sites across the country, including a pharmaceutical company, gas stations, and a business center in Dnipro. As rescue crews battled to extinguish fires and search for trapped individuals, Zelenskyy expressed his condolences to the families of those killed and stressed that Ukraine's response to Russia is inevitable.
"My condolences to their families and loved ones," the president wrote on X. "Russia must be held accountable for all of this and face real consequences." Following the overnight and morning attacks, Russia continued its assault on Kyiv with jet-powered drones during the day. The Ukrainian leader urged Ukraine's partners to recognize the gravity of supporting Ukraine, emphasizing that supporting the principle of never normalizing terrorism must be upheld.
