“I am grateful to Ukraine’s State Emergency Service rescuers, police, utility workers, and all other services involved in rescue and recovery following Russia’s attack on Kyiv this morning.
“Russian terrorists launched ballistic missiles at Kyiv. Unfortunately, houses in a typical urban neighborhood were damaged. As of now, 5 people have been reported injured.
“The rubble is being cleared. We reiterate that Ukraine requires more air defense systems, which provide safety for our cities and save lives. All of us who respect and protect life must put an end to this terror.”
