Another air raid on Kiiu after two weeks… This time on the largest scale.
The air raid lasted 6 hours… 2 people injured, city power supply cut off
Air raid day, commemoration of mass starvation deaths in Ukraine during Soviet era
Russia launched a large-scale airstrike on Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, on the 25th (local time). Coincidentally, today is the anniversary of Holodomor, when more than 2.5 million Ukrainians starved to death under the Soviet Union.
According to the Kieu Independent, Russia carried out an unmanned aerial vehicle (drone) attack for six hours. The Kiiu City Military Administrative Office assessed it as the largest drone attack since the beginning of the war. Russia previously carried out an airstrike on Kiiu for the first time in seven weeks on the 11th.
The Ukrainian Air Force announced, “Russia set its main attack direction toward Kiev and launched a record number of Shahed-131/136 drones (made in Iran for suicide) over Ukraine.”
As a result of the attack, at least two people were injured and several buildings were damaged across the city.
The Chiiu City Military Administrative Office explained, “Power to the overhead lines (in Kiiu) was cut, and as a result, 77 residential buildings and 120 institutions in the city center were left without power.”
Kiev Mayor Vitaly Klitschko said on social networking service (SNS), “Today is a tragic day for Ukrainians,” and emphasized, “More than 10 million Ukrainians have starved to death at the hands of totalitarian Russia.”
“Today, Russia is trying to annihilate Ukrainians with missiles and drones, block heat and light in the winter, and destroy cities and villages,” he said. “This is once again committing genocide against Ukrainians.” criticized.
The Holodomor was a great famine that occurred during the Soviet era under Isiof Stalin in 1932-1933.
Ukraine has one of the most fertile plains in Europe, but the Soviet leadership’s political and administrative decisions, including grain exploitation, caused millions of deaths. Although there are differences in the number of deaths, it is generally estimated that there are 2.5 to 3 million people, and it is believed that as many as 10 million people may have died.
Some, including Ukraine, the United States, and the Vatican City, are defining the incident as intentional genocide.
The casualties and infrastructure damage caused by the attack are still being calculated.
