What does a residential building in Kyiv look like after the latest shelling by russians: Rubryka’s photo report

"April 28. A little later than 8 p.m. Explosions can be heard in Kyiv. I go out on the balcony, I see smoke rising over the city. The news reports about missile strikes. It's quite late, it's curfew soon, so I'm leaving early this morning to film the consequences."

These are the words of our photojournalist, who went to see the consequences of the missile strikes that russia inflicted on Kyiv on the evening of April 28, firsthand. As a result of the shelling, a residential building in the Shevchenkivskyi district of the capital was partially destroyed.

Six wounded. One killed.

Destroyed walls, shattered lives, broken windows, smashed glass, plastic, trees, busted wires.

Rubryka, in the area of the hits of enemy missiles, recorded the morning "after." Kyiv services are working to eliminate the consequences, local residents meet the morning with a hole not only in the house but also in the hearts. Apricots bloom.

This is life in Kyiv today:

"The first electric train, then the first metro train to Lukianivka. In March, there was already a missile hit. The windows and part of the market have not been restored yet. Many shop windows are boarded up. There are few people on the street. Yesterday I saw a video from the place of arrival on the telegram channels, so I quickly found the right address. By the way, another hundred meters from the main impact, on the sidewalk, there is broken glass, which passers-by who go to work in the morning step through. The shock wave was huge, many houses around smashed windows. The main impact of the rocket was on the first floors of a new apartment building, which is still likely not fully inhabited. In the morning, the State Emergency Service reported that one person had been found under the rubble.

Utilities are actively working on the street, sweeping broken glass. There are many damaged five-story buildings around, some of which have almost all their windows broken. Residents who survived the blows to the apartments say the blasts were very powerful. In the evening the ambulance took away several wounded. This is an area of ​​the historic center, home to many elderly people who have lived here since childhood. Now they have the hardest time.

From the very morning, local residents bring window film to their apartments and clean their homes. There are also many who have left their homes and left the city. Their apartments will now stand for some time with broken windows. Many apartments have also had their doors knocked out by the blast.

I notice a green balloon holding on, flying past the broken windows and slowly descending to the ground. Dozens of journalists are working around, many foreign languages ​​can be heard. Now is the time for warm weather, the sun is shining in the morning; the trees are blooming, and all this seems unrealistic, although the full-scale war has been going on for two months."
