"There are no atrocities Russian bastards would not commit, including an attempt of a ballistic strike at the heart of a multimillion city. This is a reminder that Ukraine urgently requires more air defence, particularly Patriot systems and missiles capable of repelling any Russian attack," Kuleba emphasised.

On the morning of 25 March, an air-raid warning was issued in Kyiv, with explosions thundering in the city a few moments later. The city authorities have reported a missile attack that resulted in wreckage falling in the Pecherskyi, Solomianskyi and Dniprovskyi districts. There is information about damage to a three-story building in the Pecherskyi district. As of 11:20, there are reports that people were injured.

Lieutenant General Mykola Oleshchuk, Commander of Ukraine's Air Force, reported that air defence forces destroyed two Russian ballistic missiles fired on Kyiv on the morning of 25 March.
