Russian pilots who launched missiles at Ukrainian residential buildings on the night of October 7 will not be able to hide behind orders, states Head of the Office of the President Kyrylo Budanov.

“I also have a message for the Russian pilots who launched missiles at residential buildings: you will not be able to hide behind orders” he noted.

Furthermore, Budanov addressed those who continue to calmly observe the Kremlin’s crimes.

“What other “business opportunities” are you trying to see through the dust from destroyed Ukrainian homes?” wrote the Head of the Office of the President.

Today around 06:00, Russian forces launched a missile strike on Pryluky – one of the hits struck a residential high-rise building. As of now, 18 fatalities have been reported as a result of the enemy strike, including four children.

In addition, Kremenchuk came under a massive strike by Russian forces overnight. As of now, 47 casualties have been reported, including two children. Two people were killed.

  1. I hope the SBU will find those mass murderers and give them the hammer treatment. Their families should also be made to suffer.
