Today, a Day of Mourning has been declared in Kyiv for the victims of the massive Russian attack on the capital on May 14.

At least 24 people are now confirmed dead, including three children. 48 people have been injured.

This was one of the deadliest attacks on Kyiv since the start of Russia’s full-scale war. Residential neighbourhoods, civilian infrastructure, and ordinary people once again became Russia’s targets.

The aggressor state is deliberately continuing its terror against Ukrainian cities and civilians. That is why international pressure on Russia must increase, alongside continued support for Ukraine and our nation’s ability to protect its skies and its people.
