In my city, Kyiv, 4 people were killed, and 20 were injured.

In Ternopil, 1 injured.

Lutsk. 5 people were injured.
All the attacks were on the civilian infrastructure and residential buildings.

This is what Kyiv looked like last night—a reminder for everyone. The distance between Kyiv and Berlin is about the same as the distance from Canberra to Brisbane. Putin will continue this war for as long as he lives—believe it or not.
