Putin again attacked Kyiv with missiles during visit of foreign leaders

Another missile attack on Kyiv took place today during the visit of African leaders. Putin has once again demonstrated that he is willing to disregard the safety of foreign leaders.

This was stated by the head of the Presidential Office, Andriy Yermak, on Telegram.

"Another terrorist attack on the capital has been repelled. The Air Force shot down 6 Kalibr and 6 Kinzhal missiles, as well as a Russian UAV," he wrote.

According to him, Russia's missile attack took place just as African leaders arrived in the capital. Today, the capital is being visited by President Cyril Ramaphosa of South Africa, Senegalese President Macky Sall and some other African representatives.

"Putin wants to demonstrate that he is ready to disregard the security of foreign leaders, he doesn't really care, because he feels complete impunity. And anyone could be in the shoes of African leaders," he wrote.

Yermak reminded that the missiles were also flying when U.S. President Joe Biden and UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres arrived in Ukraine.

"The world needs to understand that now we need to consolidate and take the toughest possible stance against Russia. We need to show strength to a state that undermines global security and acts with terrorist methods," he said.

In his opinion, they should unite around President Volodymyr Zelensky's "peace formula".

"There is no alternative to it. And we must discuss further steps at the Global Peace Summit. Only strong diplomacy and a strong position can put an end to Russian terrorism. Because it concerns everyone, every state that wants to exist and preserve the world order," he added.
