“Commander-in-Chief Syrskyi delivered a report today. The front line – especially the Pokrovsk sector – our units are holding all their positions,” said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in a traditional address to the Ukrainian nation on July 31.
Dear Ukrainians!
There have already been several reports today from the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine regarding rescue operations and the clearing of rubble after the Russian strike. The State Emergency Service of Ukraine and all relevant services will continue working for as long as necessary. People are being searched for under the rubble. Over a hundred people have already received various forms of assistance. Many have been wounded or injured, including 14 children. Dozens are currently in hospitals. I am grateful to the rescuers, our police officers, every doctor, every nurse, and everyone involved in providing assistance. To all municipal services. It is very important that Ukrainians so swiftly and so humanely help one another do their job and restore life after Russian strikes.
Tragically, there are fatalities. As of now, 14 people have been confirmed dead in Kyiv, including a six-year-old child. My condolences to all their families and loved ones.
