Against this background, the head of state expressed gratitude to all services that are actively working at the sites of night Russian strikes: units of the State Emergency Service, the National Police, and municipal services.
"Everyone is acting as effectively as possible, given the scale of the attack and its consequences," the Ukrainian leader emphasized.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy and the Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Ihor Klymenko have already visited the sites of the greatest destruction after the Russian strikes.
The largest number of missiles were aimed at the capital, at ordinary residential buildings, at schools, and the food market, one of the oldest markets in Kyiv, was burned down. The Russian strike actually destroyed the Chernobyl Museum, damaged the National Art Museum, and the building that housed the German ARD office.
