Russian missiles hit Kyiv residential buildings in fresh attack on Ukraine's capital

Russia has attacked the Ukrainian capital Kyiv for the first time in weeks, striking at least two residential buildings on Sunday (26 June).

Mayor Vitali Klitschko has confirmed that two people were injured in the attack.

Before the strikes, the city had not faced any strikes since 5 June, as Vladimir Putin's forces had focused instead on consolidating gains in the east of Ukraine.

Footage shared by the emergency services in Kyiv shows rescuers battling flames and pulling civilians from the rubble.

Crazy crazy fucked up shit the whole damn thing...

These people use residential areas as shields while firing. You can see how the media twists it.

I thought Zelenskyy said Ukraine was winning? If Russia seizes Ukraine will that mean Russia will join the European Union, the stupidity of it all is mind boggling.

[childofeternity]

That's the problem when you embed your military - such as artilliary - in residential areas. And there's plenty of evidence/proof of Ukraine doing that.

[essentialsubliminals]

Ukraine are having lots of victories that are getting closer and closer to their capitol :)

Russia has never been making so much profit on Energy.

The target of the missile strike was Artem military plant, these residential buildings suround the plant. Local authorities knew it is a potential target so why didn't the evacuated people from those buildings like months ago? Maybe because in case of attack they have civilian casualties they can show to the world?

But I thought the media said Ukraine was winning?, yet now we are hearing Ukraine is losing multiple towns, villages and cities in the East and South and even directly striking the capital. What happened?.

[ramatgan]

The war is over and I believe Ukraine has two choices only: unconditional surrender or feel the pain.

[olllloollllo]

To all the smart people of the world---we knew this day would come when the annoying Western news outlets would have to change their tune due to reality kicking them in the ass.

If you're having trouble Sleeping because of Ukraine just think that this is somewhere in Africa or Middle East and you'll sleep better! Nighty Night!

[WETANAL]

Western media this week has changed its tune from Russia is incompetent to, Russia has a lot more 152mm then we thought.

I really love this type of "journalism". The air defense system shot down attacking missiles, their remains fell on a residential buildings = the Russians hit a civilian house))))

[getinvolvedmt]

Report on both sides destroying civilian targets, not just Russia.

On June 26, the Russian Aerospace Forces struck four high-precision
air-launched missiles at the workshops of the Artyom Rocket Construction

Why would Russia attack a (Residential building )with nobody inside 🤨 strange

[LWrc]

[speedy]

Eventual NATO involvement is unavoidable.
