The Kyiv Prosecutor’s Office has released new data on the tragic consequences of the missile attack that hit the capital of Ukraine
According to the latest official reports, seven people were killed as a result of the massive combined shelling by the Russian Federation, the youngest of whom was a 22-year-old girl. This testifies to the ruthlessness and destructive power of armed aggression, which mercilessly takes the lives of civilians. According to the Kyiv City Prosecutor's Office, the list of the tragically dead includes three women and four men, aged 22 and older. More about this tragedy: as of 1 p.m., as a result of targeted shelling by the Russian armed forces in Kyiv, human lives have been lost. The situation in the Shevchenko district of the capital is particularly alarming, where people may still be trapped under the rubble of a destroyed building and need immediate assistance and rescue. The rescue operation led by the civil defense services continues with perseverance and unwavering courage. All efforts are aimed at rescuing possible victims, as preliminary data suggests that there may still be people trapped under the rubble. Law enforcement agencies, including the Kyiv Prosecutor's Office and the Security Service of Ukraine, have stepped up efforts to establish all the circumstances of the tragedy. At present, a pre-trial investigation into the fact of a war crime that caused human casualties has been launched under the procedural leadership of the prosecutor's office. This investigation is being conducted by the Special Security Service of Ukraine, and its goal is to clarify all the circumstances of the use of weapons and the perpetrators of this crime. Ukrainian lawyers and investigators are already working to identify those responsible and determine the level of guilt of those who gave orders or carried out the shelling. The tragedy in Kyiv once again reminds us of the price of war and its devastating consequences for the civilian population. Each new day brings new losses and serious challenges for the Ukrainian authorities and defense forces. For citizens, this is a new painful reinforcement of the need for unity, resilience, and perseverance in the fight for the country's independence and security.
