The presidential administration in Kyiv has released photos of the building in ruins.

The head of the presidential office, Andriy Yermak, was appalled: "Russians are terrorists who will be punished for everything.

All - without exception.” He said that the anti-aircraft and air defenses were doing their job.

"We will fight back." The enemy did not change their tactics and continued their strikes against the civilian infrastructure.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy wrote in the online networks after the attack: "It is still unclear how many people are under the rubble.

Unfortunately, the death toll is increasing every hour."
