“Russia has carried out one of the largest air attacks: drones and missiles against peaceful cities, sleepy civilians, critical infrastructure.

Explosions rang out in Kyiv and a number of Ukrainian cities. Air defense forces were working. All over Ukraine, hits to infrastructure objects were recorded.
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 committed by the Russian Federation and emphasize that they are purposeful.
