President Volodymyr Zelensky said that a Russian drone struck the central building of the Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) on Volodymyrska Street in Kyiv, opposite St. Sophia’s Cathedral. According to him, the drone was directed straight at the office of SSU Chief Oleksandr Poklad.
The head of state reported this on Telegram, according to Ukrinform.
“I spoke with the Head of the Security Service of Ukraine, Oleksandr Poklad. Unfortunately, a Russian drone struck the central building of the Security Service of Ukraine on Volodymyrska Street in Kyiv, across from St. Sophia Cathedral,” he said.
Zelensky said that all emergency services were working at the scene. He also specified that the drone had been aimed directly at the office of the Head of the Security Service in that building.
“I instructed Poklad to deliver an appropriate, tangible response and, where possible, one that mirrors this strike, to the Russians once everything is ready. Our military will support this response,” Zelensky wrote.
