According to the FT, this was a clear targeted attack on the American aerospace company.

In one of the latest Russian attacks on Kyiv last week, Boeing’s Kyiv office was severely damaged. According to the Financial Times , citing Ukrainian officials and Boeing employees and analyzed photographs, it was a clear targeted attack on the American aerospace company.

“According to two Boeing employees, three Ukrainian officials and the head of the American Chamber of Commerce in Ukraine, the building was one of the targets hit Sunday night in one of the most intense strikes of the entire war,” the publication writes.

Images released by the State Emergency Service of Ukraine and confirmed by the FT showed severe damage to the building and rescue workers battling a fire inside.

A Boeing representative declined to comment on the attack, saying only that none of the company’s employees were injured during the bombing.

As the publication reminds, Boeing is one of the most famous American companies represented in Ukraine, whose activities are mostly focused on engineering and technical support. The company’s number of employees in Ukraine is about 1,000 people, and it continued to work in the country practically without obstacles, despite the war with Russia.

It is noted that earlier this year, Boeing executives met with their colleagues from Antonov and the Ukrainian Minister of Defense to discuss new joint projects, including unmanned systems and ammunition production.

“The apparent attack on such a well-known American company in Ukraine and the damage caused to it could anger President Donald Trump,” the FT notes.

The strike could also raise questions about whether Russia is expanding its targets for strikes to include Western companies with ties to Ukraine’s defense and aviation sectors.
