Diplomats from abroad were presented with the ravaged Cabinet headquarters in Kiev by officials.
In a significant turn of events, Ukraine's Prime Minister, Julia Sviridchenko, conducted a briefing on social media, addressing the nation following a devastating enemy attack that marks a new stage in the ongoing war.
During the briefing, the Prime Minister pointed out that this attack is an existential war for Ukraine, as the enemy is now targeting government institutions. She stated that Russia is killing Ukraine's children, and thus its future.
The Cabinet building in Ukraine sustained significant damage from the attack, with officials showcasing damaged floors during the briefing. Work to repair the roof of the building will commence soon.
The attack on September 7 was the most massive combined strike on Ukraine using strike UAVs and ground-based missiles. According to the Prime Minister, air defense neutralized 751 targets out of 823 means of Russian air attack, with 9 missiles and 54 strike drones hitting 33 locations.
Sadly, the attack resulted in four fatalities and over 44 injuries. Among the victims were a two-month-old child and a young mother.
The Prime Minister also highlighted that Russia has been systematically targeting enterprises ahead of winter. This attack is a clear signal, she said, that Russia does not want peace and is openly mocking the diplomatic efforts of the civilized world.
In response to the attack, the government briefed 60 heads of diplomatic missions accredited in Ukraine about the consequences of one of the largest air attacks by Russians since the start of the full-scale invasion. However, the specific countries among these 60 were not detailed in the provided search results.
The Prime Minister's presence during the briefing was a powerful symbol of her support for Ukraine's struggle for the existence of the state. The elimination of the aftermath of the attack is ongoing, and the nation stands united in the face of adversity.
