It was not immediately clear whether others may be trapped beneath the rubble, Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said in an update on the Telegram messaging app.

Emergency personnel were working at several sites, including a residential building in the Solomianskyi district, where "an entire entrance collapsed," Klitschko said. The mayor posted a video to Telegram showing what he said were Russian cluster munitions found at one of the impact sites in the capital.

Ukraine's air force said in a post to Telegram that the attack consisted of 440 drones and 32 missiles -- of which 402 drones and 26 missiles were shot down or otherwise neutralized. The air force reported impacts in 10 locations and downed debris in 34 locations.......................

Russia genocide's and destroys Ukraine, yet Trump withholds support for Ukraine :

The Bucha massacre

The Izium massacre

The Olenivka prison POW massacre

Malaysia Airlines flight 17

Mariupol hospital airstrike

Kyiv Children's Hospital bombing

Stara Krasnianka care house attack

Mariupol theatre bombing

Kramatorsk railway station bombing

Bilohorivka school bombing

The Sumy Palm Sunday bombing

And there are many, too many more.

Trump won't help Ukraine stop this slaughter by supplying more missle defense or offense to Ukraine. Why? He has called the bringing of attention to these slaughters "propaganda." No Trump, those are mostly lost Ukrainian souls murdered by your friend in the Kremlin.
