Ukraine: At Least Three Killed in Russian Attack on Kyiv
The Facts
A Russian missile attack on the Ukrainian capital in the early hours of Saturday killed at least three people and injured three others, Kyiv officials confirmed.
Kyiv Mayor Vitaly Klitschko said the attack struck a "non-residential building" in the Shevchenkivskyi district of the city, but also damaged an apartment block and the entrance to the Lukianivska metro station. The attack also damaged a mains water supply nearby.
Russia also struck an "infrastructure facility" in the city of Zaporizhzhia, injuring 10 people, officials said. Ukraine's Air Force said that two out of four missiles and 24 of 39 drones were shot down from the Russian attack.
The Spin
Pro-Ukraine narrative
Yet another Russian attack on Ukraine has left a devastating mark, this time killing three people and injuring a dozen more. A number of industrial facilities and residential buildings were also damaged in the attack, adding to the mounting toll of the conflict as Moscow continues to destabilize the region.
Pro-Russia narrative
Attacks on Ukraine are a direct consequence of the failure of the country's leadership to meaningfully engage in peace talks and thinking they can defeat Russia on the battlefield. These attacks will stop once a more sober position is reached.
