Official Condemnation of the Kyiv Attack
Hungary’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Anita Orbán, has publicly denounced Russia’s combined overnight assault on Kyiv, which took place on May 24. The large-scale attack caused significant damage to multiple sites in Ukraine’s capital, including:
- the Cabinet of Ministers building,
- two residential complexes near the U.S. Embassy,
- a market in the Lukianivka district,
- the Embassy of Azerbaijan,
- the National Art Museum and the Chornobyl Museum.
According to reports, the blast wave shattered windows in the Cabinet of Ministers building. Two housing estates in Kyiv’s Shevchenkivskyi district—'Zelenyi Ostriv-1' and 'Zelenyi Ostriv-2'—also sustained damage. In total, over 50 locations across Kyiv were affected, including the Lukianivka market and the National Art Museum.
'Russia’s brutal nighttime assault on Kyiv is yet another horrifying reminder of the human cost of this war. Civilians should never have to wake up to missiles, drones, explosions, and fear for their lives.' Anita Orbán
The minister further emphasized that 'destroyed homes, broken families, and innocent people killed or wounded are unacceptable. We strongly condemn this attack and stand with the victims and the people of Ukraine.'
