As a result of numerous missile strikes on Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, this morning, at least eight people have died and 25 have been injured.
As officials reported that the missiles had struck close to a well-known memorial to a great politician, a park, and a pedestrian bridge, with the main target appearing to be civilians, videos and images from the Ukrainian capital showed burning automobiles and bodies in the streets.
The central Ukrainian city of Dnipro and Zaporizhzhia were also damaged, according to President Zelensky.
According to certain sources, explosions have been verified in the city of Lviv in the far west.

As the strikes were taking place, Zelensky declared that “Russia is trying to wipe us off the face of the earth.”
Russia, though, gave no immediate justification for the strikes, but many believe this was a retaliatory move after a deadly explosion crippled the Kerch Bridge connecting mainland Russia to Crimea at the weekend.
Putin while reacting to the Crimea bridge explosion, blamed Ukraine and described it as ‘terrorists act’.
