"Ukrainians in distress following lethal air strike in Moscow, missile narrowly missed their heads by mere 20 cm"
In the outskirts of Kiev, another wave of devastation hits residential areas, this time courtesy of Russian missiles. The gruesome task of recovering victims fallen in their slumber lies with the rescue workers. A heartbroken engineer gazes upon the wreckage of his building and the buried bodies of his neighbors, reduced to rubble and hideous reminders of the senseless tragedy.
Casualties Mount as Peace Remains Elusive
"Want to see the Trump-Putin deal?" gloomily comments the engineer, gesturing to the destruction. This devastating event, which struck in the early hours of April 24, reportedly claimed at least 12 lives and injured 90 individuals. Shocked survivors returned to their neighborhoods on Thursday afternoon, a haunting scene played out by the remnants of their once-normal lives. "We were snatched away from death by a slim margin," recounts one man, "the missile passed just 20 centimeters above our heads – it's a miracle my family and I survived."

While the exact incident on April 23-24, 2025, remains disputed, evidence suggests that a series of large-scale Russian attacks did occur in late April and late March. For instance, on April 21, Russian forces launched nationwide attacks on Kyiv, Zhytomyr, Dnipro, Kharkiv, Poltava, Khmelnytsky, Sumy, and Zaporizhzhya regions, resulting in at least 12 fatalities and scores of injuries, with numerous residential buildings destroyed in Kyiv. Survivors were miraculously rescued from the ruins, thanks in part to mobile phone signals that guided rescuers to the victims.
The ongoing strategic pattern of Russia's attacks involves targeting energy infrastructure and civilian areas to degrade morale and military logistics. These attacks have not only resulted in immense destruction but have also led to diplomatic fallout. For example, Poland condemned a previous incident as a blatant violation of sovereignty, while Ukraine criticized the Trump administration's response as insufficient. Additionally, a pending U.S.-Ukraine deal for mineral resource access faced delays amid stalled peace talks.
Ukrainian officials speak steadfastly that "Moscow, not Kyiv, is the obstacle to peace," echoing the growing urgency among citizens for Western air defenses to minimize the impact of such attacks.
