A Russian missile strike on Kyiv during the night of July 19 destroyed the factory and warehouses of UKRTAC, a company that manufactures military equipment and personal protective gear.

According to Ukrinform, the company's founder, Severion Dangadze, announced this on Facebook.

"Last night, our company experienced the greatest tragedy in its history," Dangadze said.

According to him, a direct missile strike completely destroyed UKRTAC's factory and warehouses.

"Behind these walls were years of hard work, hundreds of people, thousands of decisions, sleepless nights, faith, responsibility, and a tremendous desire to contribute to Ukraine's security. But today, the most important thing is that all of our people are alive. And that is priceless. Buildings can be lost. Equipment can be lost. Property can be lost. But it is impossible to destroy a team—its experience, knowledge, character, and faith... We will not give up. We will rebuild. We will continue our work. And we will do everything to make UKRTAC even stronger," Dangadze emphasized.
