Deadly Russian missile strikes hit Ukraine’s Kyiv and Kharkiv • FRANCE 24 English

I’m now in The sosin District in the Northwestern suburbs of KF you can perhaps see behind me people are picking up plastic sheeting to replace their Windows because windows on apartment buildings all around here were blown out by the explosions early this morning in several places fires broke out cars also

Burned in the street in front of me I’m not allowed to show it but the fire brigade are still putting out the fire of one house um and uh as you said I think I think 13 people have been hospitalized according to the latest count there were reports that one person

Had been killed here but apparently that person is actually in intensive care and may yet pull through but perhaps what’s most remarkable about these strikes on Kiev is not what’s happening here on the outskirts but the fact that the city center was hit by my calculation they

Hadn’t hit anything that close to the city center since the 10th of October 2022 so more than a year really very very close to the government District what’s being described as um an industrial facility the ukrainians don’t want to give any more details and we weren’t allowed to film there but I was

There a little earlier spoke to a rescue worker who said no one was hurt in the incident and that it was not yet clear whether this was a direct hit or whether it was a missile that was um took a deflection uh or was at least um was was

Shot down I mean by the by the Ukrainian air defenses and G as I mentioned at the top there we’re also hearing of attacks on harive where there uh it seems as though people have been killed yes it’s possible that the death toll will rise in harff because as I

Understand it two residential buildings apartment buildings were hit and um quite significantly impacted um on both Kev and harv we’re hearing reports that a whole range of different missiles were used harv of course is that much closer to the Russian border so they can uh fire ballistic missiles across to Har uh

Much faster with hearing that ballistic missiles were also used in the attack on Kev certainly the air defenses across Kev were working extremely hard in the early hours of this morning we heard lots and lots of explosions which I presume are attempts to shoot down the Rockets

Missile attacks on Tuesday on the Ukrainian capital Kyiv and the eastern city of Kharkiv killed two and wounded several, including children, officials said. “Thirteen people have been hospitalised according to the latest count,” FRANCE 24’s Gulliver Cragg said, adding that a person previously reported as dead was actually in intensive care.

  5. You are not allowed to show because it is a military barracks purportedly converted civilian high rise. French troops are also there.

  14. This time a good & independent report from F-24; what happened ? No say about the number of rackets liquidated -usually you were reporting 100%!!!
    Hope now you understood the real power of Russians , and your false narratives- in the past

  16. Maybe the world should have condemned the 2014 coup in Ukraine conducted by the US, maybe the world should have condemned Ukraine for continuously terrorizing for decades within Russians living in Ukraine, maybe the world should have condemned Ukraine for not abiding by the Minsk accords, maybe the world should have condemned Boris Johnson for telling Ukraine to disregard the peace agreement negotiated in Turkey in 2022,maybe the world should have condemned Ukraine for continuing to shell civilians to this including use of banned cluster munitions provided by the US. Ever think of that?

  27. "We're not allowed to film it, but Ukraine says Russia struck a hospital, a school, a kindergarten, a centre for homeless children, a sanctuary for orphaned baby seals, and a storage facility of Christmas presents for disabled toddlers"

  28. It sounds amazing, how the masses is rising from their sleep all this while, making Ukraine looks holy, now what are they hiding, after they stage Bucha for the media to report a fake a story 😂😂😂… Where lies democracy now that the media tends bias and are being subdue to what to report and what not to. 😂😂😂…

  32. There are a lot of videos of destructions on YouTube and other media, strange that you can't show. in Kharkiv i heard more than 7 dead for now, and 62 wounded:(

  36. stop accusing the Russians of that attack. They ran out of missiles 2 years ago. There is no way the shovels could do that damage on the patriot and Iris T air defense systems in Kiev

  37. The 1st casualty of pre-war is the entire truth, lives are real people with names and purposes in life, those are the realities, this is a horrible world when killing is watched on TV this world should end, its ran its race and lost to corruption!
    IF YOU AGREE GIVE A LIKE.

  38. Russia said it targeted a group of French fighters in a long-range strike on the eastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv. The Russian defence ministry claimed to have killed dozens of foreign militants in the attack and injured several civilians. A multi-storey building in central Kharkiv was devastated by strikes, gutting the structure and scattering debris in the street below. A military affairs expert who spoke to Sputnik said Russia targeting several French mercenary fighters in Kharkiv comes as a warning. People thinking about freelancing for the Ukrainian military should expect to be treated the same as homegrown fighters, as per the military expert…. Russia's policy is to 'not accept mercenaries that surrender'. This privilege only exists for Ukrainian brothers some of which didn't choose to fight this war.
