President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that Ukraine will definitely strike Russia in response to the massive attack on Kyiv on July 2.
Zelenskyy stated this in a comment to journalists, Censor.NET reports .
Russia’s response
” Putin is losing this war. That’s what’s happening. He clearly understands that he can intimidate people and simply destroy the civilian population with missile strikes. Putin is afraid of chaos, he needs muscle, and he doesn’t have muscle on the battlefield. We need to understand that there may be an escalation. Of course, he has elections, he has elections in September. And our politicians should not forget, not us. We need to defend our state. We are for a just peace, a just end to the war. And while he is gone, we are for just answers. The Russian Federation will receive a response for today’s strike on Kyiv – that’s for sure ,” the president said.
Missiles for “Patriots”
Zelensky also said that Ukraine needs at least 140 Patriot missiles to intercept about 70 ballistic missiles. The president said that Ukraine does not have enough Patriot missiles to repel massive ballistic attacks.
” We are fighting ourselves. The victims are exclusively Ukrainian. We simply need our partners to do what they agreed to. Because we don’t even ask for more ,” Zelensky added.
Massive shelling of Kyiv on July 2
On the night of July 2, 2026, Russia launched a massive combined attack on Kyiv, using strike drones, ballistic missiles, and cruise missiles. Explosions rang out for several hours, and air defense forces worked on aerial targets over the capital.
According to the latest confirmed data:
- at least 18 people died;
- nearly 90 were injured, including two children;
- more than 20 residential buildings and other civilian infrastructure were damaged;
- Rescue operations continued at many locations. People are being searched under the rubble. Including a 15-year-old girl and her family.
Several areas of the capital suffered the greatest damage, including:
- Darnytskyi;
- Desnyansky;
- Svyatoshinsky;
- Solomyansky;
- Holosievsky;
- Pechersky;
- Podolsky;
- Obolonsky.
The strikes caused numerous fires, partially destroyed multi-story residential buildings, damaged transport infrastructure and utility networks. Due to the consequences of the attack, public transport routes in Kyiv were temporarily changed. Джерело: https://censor.net/ua/n4011462

What response? Kerch bridge is still standing, Kremlin building still standing, Radio and TV tower Ostankino is still standing……………
Even the Radio and TV tower of Sebastopol is still standing, why they have protection?
It’s not possible for me to hit the like button at this kind of news. What nation is going to be the first to deploy patriot crews to protect the Ukrainians? I sure wish mine would.
Sometimes we hit ‘like’ to show appreciation of the searching and work to present the story. I agree Richard, there should be MULTIPLE nations with boots on the ground and planes in the air defending the noble Ukrainians. The scourge of the ruzzian horde MUST be eradicated from the territory of Ukraine to stop this genocide of the Ukrainian people.
The last time Zelensky promised a fair response, the response was quite bad for the mafia state. So, I believe that it deserves a like. Having said that, I wish WP would provide at least a few choices of emoticon-type responses to better reflect the mood of the reader.
VETH got it. What response? I’ve been telling “Goody Two Shoes” Volodymyr for the past two years to give the Russians the ultimate shock treatment from the “Free World Humans” who love peace. Mr. nice guy only blows up legitimate war targets. Yet the enemy just kills the men, women and children over and over again. What. F the Russians. Give them exactly what Putin and the Russians are giving Ukrainians. Oh, it is wonderful to keep blowing up the oil refineries and deprive the bastards of gas and of the money that supports the war. Keep doing it as much as you can. However, you also have the opportunity to do more to the bastards. Just do to them what they do to you. No one in their right mind will say “Oh my GOD” look what Zelensky and the Ukrainians did to the poor Russians. I keep saying and saying to take that most beautiful building in Moscow, the Saint Basil’s Cathedral. That will be the very most destructive thing than could ever be done to the evil Putin bastard and the now evil Russian people. For Russians to prove they are not evil they must kill Putin and his evil group involved with the Russian Federation that want this war with Ukraine to be. Then install a peace-loving group of normal humans to bring the country back into the world we live in. Or Russia will NEVER be forgiven for what they are doing with this sick war they have made. Destroy the Cathedral Zelensky. And the Kremlin is close enough to go down with it. DO IT – PERIOD!
Yes to onlyfactsplease – WP should include a “not like” as a choice to reply to an article.
Let us talk more about the Saint Basil’s Cathedral. And let’s add the Devil’s Disciple Patriarch Kirill of Moscow shall we. We will throw Satan’s Kirill into the Oregano sauce and mix him in with Basil in the Saint’s Kitchen of Basile’s Cathedral Restaurant. This Kirill dude is one no good mother Focker. Imagine a Pope condoning the killing of humans because you want to! It is what he did and said in 2022. I won’t get into this Orthodox stuff because religion is an un-ending argument but not for eternal time. It shall end when you know who comes back. But in the meantime, we may converse about good and evil right? Putin=Evil – Kirill =Evil. I say to all of you this. GOD hates Kirill. And GOD hates Putin. And after all of this is over and done with, Putin and Kirill shall burn in Hell for eternal time. That is GOD’s word people. Not mine. Eternity! Imagine it? Damm! Saint Basil – Became a Saint because he defended the Orthodox faith against Arian heresy. Who cares? Anybody? This Faith, that Faith, your Faith, my Faith the Faith. Faith Faith! GOD is GOD. All this crap about Religions is bull. One GOD. Can humans ever grow up and stop using and abusing GOD with their stupidity? Sorry everyone – I got a “little” carried away because of my knowing the F – ing Kirill is a piece of lies and a bigger piece of sh*t! He will burn! The power of GOD is supreme. Let us all ask GOD to get rid of Putin and Kirill and and and and and. And let us all pray for Ukraine to be Ukraine again. SLAVE Ukraine.
