According to figures announced by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, at least 17 people were killed and 44 injured as a result of the strikes. The situation remains tense, especially in Kyiv and the Kyiv region, where fires have engulfed residential buildings, warehouses, and office buildings. ### Targets of the strike: civilian infrastructure The head of state emphasized that the main target of the Russian missiles was civilian objects unrelated to military operations. The strikes hit enterprise warehouses, a railway station, as well as a brewery and construction material warehouses. Zelenskyy called the attack severe and pointed to the systematic nature of the strikes against logistics and infrastructure. ### The cost of delays in air defense deliveries Volodymyr Zelenskyy directly linked the number of casualties to the lack of a sufficient number of ballistic missile interception systems. According to him, it is precisely delays in deliveries or the unwillingness of Western partners to transfer anti-ballistic systems that lead to such tragic consequences. The President called on the international community to realize the reality: every delay in assistance with defense systems turns into human lives. ### Call for new sanctions against Russia For those countries that are not yet ready to actively help with the delivery of interceptors, Zelenskyy proposed an alternative β€” new sanction measures. He noted that a significant part of Russian ballistic missile production is still not covered by sanctions. The President called on the G7, the European Union, and all of Ukraine's allies to take decisive steps in this direction. ### Tragedy in Brovary Particular pain is caused by the death of eight people on a railway platform in the Brovary district. They did not have time to board the last train and became victims of the strike. In the Kyiv region, the number of dead reached 14, and the number of injured β€” almost 30. Fire raged in residential areas, industrial sites, and administrative buildings. ### Reaction and consequences The events of the night revealed the vulnerability of civilian infrastructure in the face of the modern missile threat. Despite the heroism of rescuers and medics, the lack of an effective interception system makes the population extremely vulnerable. Zelenskyy insists: only urgent deliveries of air defense systems and strict sanctions against Russian arms manufacturers can change the situation.
