Emergency workers continued their grim task on Wednesday, extracting more bodies from the debris of a nine-story apartment building in Kyiv's Solomianskyi district. The recent Russian missile attack on the Ukrainian capital has now claimed 28 lives, making it the deadliest assault on the city this year.
The strike was part of an extensive missile and drone barrage aimed at overwhelming Ukraine's air defenses. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy described it as one of the most substantial bombardments in the ongoing conflict. Meanwhile, efforts for a peaceful resolution, including those led by the U.S., seem ineffective.
Wednesday was declared a day of mourning, with Kyiv's residents laying flowers in remembrance of the victims. As communities grapple with the devastation, psychologists are on hand to provide support to survivors, while rescuers face ongoing challenges due to the persistent drone attacks.
