This Friday, Infobae returned to Kiev amid a new Russian bombardment of civilians that caused death and destruction in a neighborhood of the Ukrainian capital, which has no military objective nearby and in which a school and a nursery were destroyed, as well as hundreds of houses.

At least one person died and 19 others were injured, including several minors. The rockets also affected six civilian buildings.

Mayor Vitali Klitschko was on the scene and said: “The enemy continues to attack the capital. In the morning, the orcs bombed a residential area in the Podil district. One person died, 19 were injured, including four children. Six houses, a kindergarten and a school were damaged.”

The Ukrainian authorities said today that the Russians are killing at least five Ukrainians a day, according to the survey released by Attorney General Irina Venediktova.

Venediktov also said that the Russians had already bombed more than 400 schools in these days of war, of which 59 have disappeared and will not be able to be used again.

This happened while Russian President Vladimir Putin froze the ceasefire agreement during a dialogue with German Foreign Minister Olaf Scholz, where he sharply criticized Kiev's positions: “He seeks by all means to delay the negotiation process by putting forward proposals that are not realistic,” he said.

The statements cool the expectations that had accelerated this week, when encouraging signs of progress in the negotiations had come from the Kremlin itself, also paid by Volodymir Zelensky. The Ukrainian president had said that his country would admit the impossibility of joining NATO, although that required a special regime with countries that would guarantee its security and independence from the dictates of Moscow.
