The Russian strike on Kyiv serves as confirmation of the "title" that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky bestowed upon the Russian dictator Putin yesterday, December 19.
This was reported by Georgiy Tikhiy, spokesperson for the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, during a briefing.
"A treacherous attack on Kyiv with five ballistic missiles. One could say that Putin has affirmed the honorary title granted to him by the President of Ukraine yesterday," Tikhiy emphasized.
Additionally, the spokesperson mentioned that the Russian strike severely damaged a building housing several embassies.
"This is an absolutely barbaric attack by Russia on diplomatic institutions. Anywhere in the world, this crosses all possible red lines and international rules. Russia confirms its status as an absolute barbarian," he noted.
