KOKO Business | People, Ideas, Markets, Growth | Ukrainian Family Witnesses Missile Strike Damage in Kyiv Amid Ceasefire Claims

Ukrainian family Victoria Deineko, her husband Ievhen Deineko, and their daughter Mia observed damage to a multi-story residential building in Kyiv following a Russian missile strike on Tuesday, October. The attack involved approximately 39 ballistic missiles and over 120 drones, targeting areas near Kyiv.

Ukrainian President Zelenskyy stated on social media that a Russian ballistic missile strike specifically targeted energy infrastructure, which contradicts the U.S. President's claim of an energy ceasefire agreement. This assertion aligns with the U.S. President's Sunday statement that both sides had agreed to an energy ceasefire.

Victoria Deineko held her daughter Mia while standing in front of the damaged building, highlighting the impact of the strike on civilian areas.
