MOSCOW, 27 June 2022, (TON): Explosions rocked a residential neighbourhood in Kyiv as G7 leaders gathered in Germany to discuss their backing of Ukraine against Russia's invasion, with a crucial Nato meeting set to follow in days.
The city's mayor Vitali Klitschko said “the first attack on the capital in nearly three weeks was intended to intimidate Ukrainians at the approach of the Nato summit.”
Klitschko said after visiting the apartment building that was hit “some of the inhabitants have been evacuated. Two wounded people have been hospitalized.”
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who is expected to address both the G7 and Nato gatherings, said cities as far away as Lviv, near the Polish border, had been struck by a wave of attacks.
He said in his daily address “this confirms that air defence systems the modern systems which our partners have should not be on (their current) sites or in storage, but in Ukraine.”
