On the night of April 23-24, 2025, Russian terrorists once again launched a massive attack on Ukraine, hitting Kyiv and nine other regions of the country. Official sources currently report a minimum of 9 dead and over 70 wounded in the capital alone, while other regions also suffered from Russian strikes.
Amid mass killings of civilians during the horrific shelling of Ukraine’s largest cities, the statements and situation around negotiations with Russia seem like outright mockery.
In Washington, they persistently claim that Russia is ready for an agreement, and that “they’ve come to better understand it.” They continue to believe the thoroughly deceitful war criminal, who with each new strike, drags the United States deeper into the bloody swamp he has created, from which it will soon be impossible to escape.
Chronology of the Night Attack: Victims and Destruction
Russian terrorists used cruise and ballistic missiles, as well as suicide drones, to strike key targets in Ukraine. Kyiv became the center of this aggression, with fires breaking out in 13 locations across the capital, including residential buildings and infrastructure. Bodies are still being pulled from the rubble, and among the victims are children.
Statistics:
- In Kyiv, 9 dead and over 70 wounded.
- According to the head of Ukraine’s Ministry of Internal Affairs, Igor Klymenko, the rescue operation continues in the Svatoshyn district of Kyiv, and there is information about two missing children.
- The strikes affected the Kyiv region, Kharkiv region, Dnipropetrovsk, as well as Zaporizhzhia, Zhytomyr, Khmelnytsky, and other regions of Ukraine.
Key Data on the Attacks:
- In Kyiv, 215 aerial targets were detected, of which 48 missiles and 64 drones were shot down by air defense forces.
- In Kharkiv, 24 strikes were recorded in one night, and residential buildings were also damaged.
- More than 25 destroyed homes and 10 missing under rubble in various regions of Ukraine.
Quote from Andriy Sybiha, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine:
“Putin, through his actions and not words, demonstrates that he has no respect for any peaceful efforts and only wants to continue the war. Weakness and concessions will not stop his terror and aggression.”
Israel’s Position and the Reaction of the International Community
According to Michaël Brodsky, Israel’s Ambassador to Ukraine, the consequences of the night attack on Kyiv are tragic. Israel expresses deepest condolences to the families of the victims:
“A heavy night in Kyiv — as of now, 10 dead and over 100 wounded as a result of the Russian attack. Deepest condolences to the families of the deceased.”
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky noted that these events are a result of Russia’s continuous aggression, despite all efforts by the international community to establish peace.
“Forty-four days have passed since Ukraine agreed to a complete ceasefire and cessation of strikes. This was a proposal by the United States. Forty-four days have passed, and Russia continues to kill people and avoid any hard pressure and accountability for this. It is very important that everyone in the world sees and understands what is really happening,” — emphasized Zelensky.
Against the backdrop of international efforts to end the violence, such attacks only confirm that Russia remains a threat to peace, not Ukraine. It is important to understand that Russia uses these strikes to show the world its power, ignoring peace initiatives.
Critical Situation in Kyiv: Debris Removal and Aid to Victims
The rescue operation continues in the capital. In particular, in the Svatoshyn district of the city, bodies are being pulled from the debris of a destroyed house, in which, according to Klymenko, two children died. This highlights the tragedy of the situation, where innocent civilians are becoming victims of ruthless attacks.
The international community expresses concern about the situation in Ukraine. Russia, according to global experts, must be held accountable for its aggressive actions. Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andriy Sybiha emphasized the need to increase pressure on Moscow to halt the military aggression.
“Only pressure on Russia and international isolation can lead to peace. We cannot continue to allow Putin to ignite wars while the world watches,” — said Sybiha.
Humanitarian Consequences and Further Steps
After this strike, Ukraine needs to strengthen its defense and aid. Global organizations must intensify their support, helping with the restoration of destroyed infrastructure, as well as the evacuation of civilians from dangerous areas.
Currently, the situation in Kyiv remains critical, but help is on the way, and the rescue work will continue in the coming hours.
Today, April 24, 2025, Israel stands still to pay tribute to the victims of the Holocaust and the heroes of the resistance. This is a special moment for every Jewish family, especially for those who survived the tragedy and whose lives will forever be connected with the memory of the horrors that the Jewish people went through. In the evening, Yom HaShoah — Holocaust Remembrance Day and Heroes of the Resistance will begin.
This day reminds us of the six million victims killed by the Nazis during the Holocaust. It is important to note that despite all the world’s efforts to stop the violence, tragic events like the night of April 23-24, 2025, remind us how the world must unite in the fight against terror and aggression.
