After Screaming in Kyiv, the search of the dead is forward

Evhen Povarenkov was in a line of police tape, which distinguished the public from the search and intensive rescue operations around its building.

He looked at his apartment that left, in a neighborhood of Kyiv Ukraina. His windows disappeared, his balcony was about to collapse.

Below, personal things walked through the paths. Beds and towels hanging from the tree branches.

A cruise missile resurrected to this regular block of residence in the Solomianskyi district, Tuesday morning, is likely to be 500 km / 500 kilometers. Blast destroyed 35 apartments and punched the whole section of the building.

On Wednesday evening, 23 people found dead in the waste. Throughout Ukraine, at least 30 well known were made in the attacks, all in Kyiv.

The air strike of Povarencov was just a giant wave sent by Russia. More than 440 drones and more than 32 missiles, Ukrainian Air Force said.

Barruga broke the capital for nine hours, until midnight and until sunrise. It was among the worst attacks in Kyiv since the beginning of the Ukrainian scale invasion.

Povarenkov, 43-year-old warehouse worker, looked down his apartment. The face was cut and relieved and one of the eyes was bloody. He couldn’t get out of it.

When the missile was in bed he hit, he said. His old mother was sleeping in the next room.

“There were heat, fire and smoke,” he said, remembering the metro from his wall. “I lost consciousness. When I came, my mother screamed me.”

Neighbors helped Povarenkov knocked his wrong door and got the mother of the apartment. Survived in traces of other small buildings.

“The people were shouting, the children were crying,” the pensioner said Arcadiy Volenchu, 60. “He had chaos.”

Outside, the neighbors tried to find a safe route to smoke cars and falling waste.

“Everything was on fire,” Alla said, 69, a teacher. “Car fuel tanks exploded. The broken glass was throwing from above, along with parts of concrete and tiles.”

Povarkov’s mother went to intensive care, he said, broken two collars, reduces two eyes to the internal organs required by surgery.

He had more than 100 injured in the city. At midnight, Serii Dubrov, Anesthesiologist and Director of the Clinical Hospital of the city of Kyiv, felt that strikes begin.

After a few hours, his hospital will only receive 27 patients, he said.

“They had soft tissue injuries, the damage of the broken glass, were harmed from blood vessels. There were traumatic brain injuries and inner injuries. One had an oversimplified artery.

“These are the types of injuries we see from these types of attacks.”

Dr. Dubrove’s hospitals patients were between 18 and 95, he said. There were three in the 90s. Such strikes, about residential buildings, can be particularly dangerous for seniors and childhood, as it cannot be easily scratched by the underground shelter.

Oleksandr Bondarchuk, 64-year-old impaired disabled, his apartment was also at the point of impact, could not do the shelter. He was in bed on the ground, he said.

An hour after the attack, Bondarchu slowly made his way. “It was horrible,” he said. “Everything was destroyed.”

Some of them were affected by the apartments to find shelter with friends or relatives. Others weren’t so lucky. “This is all I have,” Bondarchuk said.

As the president of Ukraine strike, Volodymyr Zelensky, traveled to the Canadian G7 conference to discover the leaders of the world. Some suspected in Ukraine that time was deliberate – a rough message of Russia.

Ukrainian attack scale stressed the need for international aid, including large air defense. In the end, Zelensky’s success would be a successful day.

Donald Trump evaporated the bilateral meeting with the US president when the strikes were going on, when Trump announced it, left the conference on the Middle East crisis.

Trump does not present, the meeting of European leaders in Ukraine could not produce a unified support statement in the country.

When Zelensky traveled home from Canada, the people of the Southwest Solomianskyi neighborhood gathered to put flowers on the cruise missile attack site.

Police did not let Evhen Povarenkov passed the tape line to recover from the apartment of his mother, and thus standing. One hundred meters, emergency workers found two other bodies in the waste.

They didn’t know how much more they found, they said.
