Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko showcased the damage to the government building, which was struck for the first time since the war began on September 7. She shared this update on her Facebook page.

Svyrydenko confirmed that there were no casualties, and the fire has been extinguished. She emphasized that the government’s operations will not be halted despite the destruction.

 "I urge our partners and all nations worldwide to transform their frustration over Russia's actions into effective support for Ukraine - not just for the government building, but for the protection of our people across the country. It is time to act. Ukraine needs more air defense systems to safeguard our skies and energy infrastructure, especially with winter approaching. Increase the sanctions pressure on Russia to diminish the resources for its military machine" - Svyrydenko stated.
