Emergency services keep working at the site of the direct strike on the Academy of Sciences building in Kyiv. Sadly, as of now, one person has been reported killed and six people injured, including three children. This afternoon, the Russians also struck a medical facility in the center of the capital. First responders are now working to put out the fire as quickly as possible.
Every Russian act of terror results in casualties that could have been prevented if pressure on Russia had finally become total. Pressure on everything that finances and produces Russia’s weapons of terror, and on everyone who uses them. The world must understand that terrorists will keep going if they are not stopped here, in Ukraine. And such brutal strikes must not be ignored. There must be a response – with global resolve and strength. We are counting on the strength of Europe, America, and our other partners who can help protect lives.
