Ukraine's military gains making aid logistics challenging for volunteers, refugees
Foundation for United Nations Sustainable Development Goals Christina Katrakis says the organization's biggest challenges are getting aid to liberated areas, and helping refugees escape.
Russia's military launched missile strikes against Kyiv, Ukraine, early Monday, as well as other locations in the country, after months of relative calm in the capital of the eastern European nation.
The strikes had targeted the center of Kyiv, and left civilians dead and wounded. Rostyslav Smirnov, an adviser to the Ukrainian ministry of internal affairs, said preliminary information shows at least eight people were killed and 24 were injured in just one of the strikes in Kyiv.
Kyiv Mayor Vitalii Klitchko said explosions were reported in the city’s Shevchenko district, which is a large area in the center of the city that includes the historic old town and several government offices.
Lesia Vasylenko, a member of Ukraine's parliament, shared a photo on Twitter revealing that at least one explosion happened near the main building of the Kyiv National University in central Kyiv.
