At least two killed in Kyiv after Russian attack on New Year’s Day

On New Year’s Eve, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed his frustration with Russia’s continued attacks on Ukraine, stating that even during the holiday season, Russia only sought to cause pain to Ukraine. The city administration of Kyiv reported that two people were found dead in the rubble of a building following a Russian morning attack in the Ukrainian capital. Additionally, Ukraine’s Prosecutor General’s Office stated that at least seven other people were injured, including two pregnant women. The National Bank of Ukraine’s building in the Pecherskyi district was also damaged by debris from a downed drone, causing a fire on the roof.

Despite the attacks, the National Bank of Ukraine confirmed that all operational systems and services were functioning fully without any disruptions. President Zelenskyy praised the country’s air defence systems, mobile fire groups, and electronic warfare systems for preventing most of the 111 attack drones launched by Russia from reaching their intended targets. However, he expressed sadness over the death of one person and offered his condolences to their family and loved ones. Zelenskyy highlighted that Russia had not scaled back its attacks on Ukraine over the holiday period, with an escalation in aerial assaults reported.

During a large-scale Christmas attack on Ukraine, Russia reportedly fired 78 missiles and 106 drones against multiple cities. In a New Year’s message, President Zelenskyy vowed to do “everything possible” to bring the war to an end within the next 12 months. The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine has resulted in significant casualties and destruction, with civilians bearing the brunt of the violence. Zelenskyy’s calls for peace and an end to the conflict have so far fallen on deaf ears, as Russia continues to target Ukrainian cities despite international condemnation.

The attacks on Ukraine’s capital and other cities have caused widespread fear and uncertainty among the population, with many civilians forced to flee their homes in search of safety. The international community has condemned Russia’s actions and called for an immediate ceasefire to prevent further loss of life. As the conflict enters another year, it remains unclear how the situation will evolve and whether peace talks will yield any tangible results. President Zelenskyy’s determination to end the war is commendable, but it will require the cooperation of all parties involved to achieve a lasting peace in the region.

In the face of continued aggression from Russia, Ukraine remains resolute in defending its sovereignty and territorial integrity. The country’s military and civilian population have shown remarkable resilience in the face of adversity, with volunteers stepping up to support those affected by the conflict. As the conflict enters its next phase, the international community must work together to find a peaceful resolution and ensure the safety and well-being of all those impacted by the violence. The people of Ukraine deserve peace and stability, and it is crucial that all parties involved in the conflict prioritize dialogue and diplomacy to prevent further bloodshed and destruction.
