Explosions rock Ukrainian cities while the world reacts

• Ukrainian officials urged civilians nationwide to seek cover.

The Ukrainian city of Kyiv was the target of a wave of fatal Russian airstrikes on Monday, along with other cities.

In the midst of the continuous bombing, Ukrainian officials urged civilians nationwide to seek cover.

The number of fatalities wasn’t immediately known.

According to some Ukrainian authorities, at least five persons were slain in Kyiv.

According to early reports, at least eight people were killed and 24 were injured in just one of the Kyiv strikes, according to Rostyslav Smirnov, a consultant to the Ukrainian ministry of internal affairs.

In addition, Lviv in the west and Dnipro were both hit.

The strikes are largely perceived as the Kremlin’s response to an explosion that damaged the strategically significant bridge over the weekend that connects the annexed Crimean peninsula to the Russian mainland.

Putin reinforced those opinions on Monday afternoon as Ukraine wept, claiming that the barrage was in retaliation to Kyiv’s “terrorist” behavior.

Although the attack on the bridge was directly attributed to Ukraine, some authorities appeared to enjoy it.

Russian President Vladimir Putin allegedly wants to “destroy us and wipe us off the face of the earth,” according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Union of Europe

The strikes in Kiev, according to the president of the European Parliament, are “sickening.”

“It once more demonstrates to the world the kind of government we are dealing with: one that targets everyone. Roberta Metsola tweeted, “One that pours dread and death down on children.

United States

Several strikes this morning in Ukraine’s major cities and other regions. Russian strikes on Ukrainian people continue to increase, according to a tweet by US ambassador Bridget A. Brink.

British Empire

UK Foreign Secretary James Cleverly described the attacks as “unacceptable” on Monday.

He tweeted that “this is a display of weakness by (Vladimir) Putin, not strength,” adding that he had been in touch with Kuleba, the Ukrainian equivalent.

China

On Monday, the foreign ministry of China urged de-escalation.

At a routine press conference, ministry spokesperson Mao Ning stated, “We hope the situation will deescalate soon.”

Canada

The strikes were described as “shocking and horrible” by Melanie Joly, Canada’s minister of foreign affairs, who also said that attacking people was a “war crime.”

She tweeted, “Canada stands with the people of Ukraine.”
