Ukrainian authorities reported that several neighbourhoods around Kyiv were bombed on what is the seventh day since the Russian invasion of Ukraine began.

Specifically, the affected areas have been Rusanivka, a few kilometers from the central Maidán square; in the historic district of Kurenivka; on the outskirts, in Boiarka, and also in Zhuliany, near the city’s airport.

The bombings would also have been noted in the Ukrainian city of Borodjanka in two residential buildings that were burned to the ground, as collected by the American chain CNN, who has verified the videos.

In addition, an explosion would have been heard in Bila Tserkva, in the Kyiv province. Another attack was recorded in Yitomir, where the president of the regional council, Vladimir Fedorenko, reported a bombing of a hospital, which has left no injuries, although local authorities have assured that there are four dead in different air attacks on the city.

The bombings would have also been noticed in the Ukrainian city of Borodjanka in two residential buildings that were reduced to ashes.

“Timely notification of the airborne alarm helped save people’s lives. Fortunately, all the children, mothers, pregnant women are alive and unharmed,” he said, according to the Ukrainian news agency Union.

On the other hand, the Minister of Health of Ukraine, Viktor Lyashko, also reported the death of a doctor after being shot in his car when he was taking his wounded nephew to the hospital from the village of Kujari, according to what was published on his official Facebook profile.

Given the frequency of bombings in the surroundings of Kyiv, the city police will extend the curfew from eight in the evening (local time) until seven in the morning, so that no citizen will be able to be on the street or other places unless you have the necessary permits, as reported by the Ukrainian news agency Ukrinform.

Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valerii Zaluzhny stated, however, that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has slowed down because Russian forces “have lost the tactical initiative and have been forced to mobilize reserves to continue their offensive”, as reported by the newspaper ‘The Kiev Independent’.

Ukrainian authorities accused the Russian Army on Tuesday of having attacked the Kyiv telecommunications tower with a projectile, according to the adviser to the Ukrainian Interior Minister, Anton Gerashchenko.

For his part, the mayor of Kiev, Vitaly Klitschko, explained that the infrastructure has received the impact of two missiles. One of them has hit the substation that supplies electricity to the tower, while the second collided with the hardware itself.

The Russian Defense Ministry warned on Tuesday of possible “high-precision” attacks against Ukrainian intelligence facilities in the Ukrainian capital, for which Klitschko urged the citizens of the capital not to walk through the streets of Kiev or circulate even on a bike.
