With the weapon systems provided, people in Kiev feel “tens of times safer today than they did a year ago,” says Kiev Mayor Vitali Klitschko. But it is important not to let up now.
Kiev Mayor Vitali Klitschko thanked Germany for comprehensive aid and once again appealed not to let up on military support.
Only on the day when there is peace again in Ukraine will the country no longer need arms deliveries, said Klitschko at the first “Westphalian Peace Conference” in Münster. Ukraine has been fending off a Russian invasion with Western help since February 2022. With the weapon systems provided, people in the capital Kiev feel “tens of times safer today than they did a year ago.” However, it is expected that there will be increased attacks on the infrastructure again in the winter.
Over 800 air alerts
In Kiev alone, more than 180 civilians, including children, have been killed since the war of aggression began, Klitschko said. Over 700 buildings were destroyed, including many residential buildings. The citizens of Kiev experienced an air raid over 800 times and spent a lot of time underground in the bunker, the mayor reported in emphatic words. If you drive through the country, you see deserted villages and towns, many are without work or shelter. The will to defend Ukraine remains unbroken among the population.
