Quote from the State Emergency Service: "The Russians took the lives of people who were the first to rush to deal with the consequences of the terrible strike. People who went on duty were ready for action, as usual. Before leaving for work, they kissed and hugged their wives and children... And they never came home... Each of them had a job they loved, dreams, and plans for the future. But the enemy decided otherwise."
Background: On the night of 5-6 June, the Ukrainian capital was subjected to another combined attack by Russia. Civilian infrastructure, residential buildings, cars and metro tracks were damaged as a result of falling debris and strikes. Four people were killed and 20 were injured.
