The President of Ukraine emphasized that Russia's terror will not cease on its own.

“Putin is not preparing for peace – he continues to kill Ukrainians and destroy cities. Only strong actions and pressure on Russia can stop this terror. Right now, we need unity and support from all our partners in the fight for a just end to this war,” the Ukrainian leader stated.

As a result of the Russian missile strike, the offices of the Ukrainian international channels “FreeDom” and “Dim” were damaged, according to Detector Media.

The offices of the international editorial staff – UATV English, The Gaze, UATV Español, UATV Arabic, and the digital editorial team – also sustained damage. Fortunately, no staff were harmed, and the channel is broadcasting from a backup studio.

The “FreeDom” studio suffered significant damage. The channel is operating from a backup location. The shockwave shattered dozens of windows, damaging production areas and company vehicles.
