Death Toll From Russian Missile Attacks In Ukraine Increases To 36 People
JAKARTA - The death toll from Russian missile attacks in a number of Ukrainian regions has increased to 36. This airstrike was the deadliest for months.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said Russia fired more than 40 missiles, destroying residential and commercial buildings and infrastructure in Kyiv, its hometown of Kryvyi Rih, the central city of Dnipro, and two cities in the eastern region.
Ukraine will retaliate against Russian missile attacks that killed 29 people and damaged children's hospitals in Kyiv.
This was confirmed by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Monday, July 8, during a visit to Warsaw where he signed a security pact with Poland.
As world leaders prepare to attend the NATO summit which began on Tuesday, July 9 in Washington, Zelenskiy called on Kyiv allies to give a firm response to today's attack at a press conference that began with a one-minute silence for the victims.

"I also want to hear from our partners (about) greater resilience and a strong response to the blow Russia is once again hitting our people, our land and our children," he said.
"We will take revenge on these people, we will definitely give a strong response from our side to Russia. The question for our partners is, can they respond?", added Zelenskyy.
