On December 20, 2024, the Kremlin proved that negotiations and reconciliation are just empty words for it. While the whole world was preparing for the holidays, Russia once again unleashed its missile terror on peaceful Kyiv.
Since early morning, Putin's terrorists released eight missilesincluding “Daggers” with MiG-31K and “Iskander-M”. As a result of the attack, five districts of the capital were damaged, and one of the targets – the Catholic Church of St. Nicholas – showed that Moscow has neither morality nor respect for shrines.
“They will forever be terrorists. And we will forever fight for freedom,” said the mayor of Kyiv Vitaliy Klitschko.
What happened: the full picture
The Russian army launched a combined strike, demonstrating open hatred of the Ukrainian people.

As a result of the attack 630 residential buildings, 16 hospitals, 17 schools And 13 kindergartens in Kyiv were left without heating. The heating main, damaged by Putin's missiles, requires urgent repairs.
War against peaceful Kyiv
In addition to direct terror, Russia is deliberately destroying cultural heritage. The shelling resulted in damage to the Catholic Church of St. Nicholas, built in the 19th century.
“Nothing is sacred for the Kremlin. They shoot not only at people, but also at our history, our culture,” said Vitali Klitschko.
“Putin’s regime is terrorism”
NAnews – Israel News notes that Russia’s actions have long gone beyond the scope of war. This is no longer military aggression, but terrorism. Putin and his henchmen do not fight, but kill civilians and destroy infrastructure.
“Anyone who seeks justification for these attacks is complicit. The Putin regime is a global threat, and it must be stopped,” said Vladimir Zelensky.
Reaction of the world and Israel
The attack has again raised questions for Israel about its position on the war in Ukraine. NEWS – Israeli news has repeatedly emphasized the need to reconsider Jerusalem's cautious policy.
The Ambassador of Ukraine to Israel Yevgeny Korniychuk spoke harshly:
“As long as the Kremlin helps Hamas and Russia supports terror, the world cannot stand by. Israel must take the side of good.”
Kyiv: a city that cannot be broken
Ukrainians remember the words from the Second World War:
“We will restore you, our dear Kyiv.”
The Kremlin may try to tear down the walls, but it will never break the spirit of the Ukrainian people.
“Every rocket Putin makes us stronger. We will never forget and forgive this terror,” said one of the residents of Kyiv.
Russia continues its dirty game, calling the morning strike a “response” to attacks on its targets. But the world sees who the real aggressor and terrorist is here.
The Kremlin chose war, but Ukraine chose life. And Kyiv will definitely become even stronger and more beautiful than it was.
