The rescuers noted that “unfortunately, 3 people died as a result of the enemy strike, and three more were injured.”
“Special thanks go to the volunteers who warmed us with warm tea and food, supported and inspired us to work,” the State Emergency Service emphasized.
At the same time, reacting to the latest attacks by Russian forces on cities, President Volodymyr Zelenskyi said that “we are always working for more air defense systems for Ukraine – modern systems that can shoot down such ballistics.”
“And we are working to ensure that our Ukrainian army can actively act against the enemy’s launchers, in particular, on Russian territory,” he noted.
On the morning of January 18, the Russian military launched missile strikes on Kyiv and Zaporizhzhia, local authorities reported.
In the capital, around 6:00 a.m., ballistic missiles hit the area of the Lukyanivska metro station, killing three people and injuring three more, Timur Tkachenko, head of the Kyiv City Military Administration, said.
“Inflammation in the Shevchenkiv district. Non-residential building… Also in the Shevchenkivskyi district, windows were blown out and there is smoke in the entrance of a residential building. The glass elements of the entrance to the “Luk’yanivska” metro station were also damaged. It is currently closed for entry and exit. Trains go without stopping at the station… In the Shevchenkiv district, the water supply pipeline was also damaged. Repair crews are on their way to the site,” Kyiv Mayor Vitaliy Klychko said in his messages.
The Russian military regularly attacks Ukrainian regions with various types of weapons – attack UAVs, rockets, anti-aircraft missiles, and anti-aircraft missiles.
The leadership of Russia denies that the Russian army during a full-scale war inflicts targeted strikes on the civilian infrastructure of the cities and villages of Ukraine, killing the civilian population and destroying hospitals, schools, kindergartens, energy and water supply facilities.
The Ukrainian authorities and international organizations qualify these strikes as war crimes by the Russian Federation and emphasize that they are purposeful in nature.
