Quote: "The Russians have once again struck the Bortnychi Aeration Station with ballistic missiles. This is yet another strike over the past year, demonstrating a systematic campaign against a single target. The Bortnychi Aeration Station is the only wastewater treatment facility serving Kyiv and the surrounding cities, towns and settlements in the oblast."
