British media ignored Russia's massive attack on Kyiv: Polyakova's reaction
Russia's Massive Strike on Kyiv: The Silence of the West
According to Главком: On the night of May 24, Russian troops launched one of the most devastating strikes on Kyiv since the start of the full-scale war. However, British media overlooked this tragedy. Singer Olya Polyakova, who was on a business trip in London, spoke about it on Facebook. Her husband Vadim Buryakovsky and their youngest daughter Alisa were forced to take shelter in the basement under the sound of shelling.
The attack claimed lives, destroyed residential buildings, a shopping center, schools, and businesses. Polyakova emphasized that such a large-scale shelling did not make it into local news and did not appear on the front pages of British publications. That night, Russia used 'Shahed' drones, ballistic missiles, and threatened to deploy ICBMs. Several areas of the capital recorded hits on residential buildings.
Olya Polyakova's Reaction: A Cry from the Heart
'My heart breaks from helplessness: I am far away, and my child is sitting in a cold basement, listening to the sounds that make the ground tremble.' Olya Polyakova
She added: 'This nightmare, this large-scale shelling, from which Kyiv is on fire, was not mentioned in local news. It is not on the front pages. The world is simply silent and scrolling further.' Polyakova called for action, stating: 'We do not have the right to remain silent!'
Recently, the singer announced a pause in the release of new songs in Ukraine and traveled to the UK to work on a creative project. Her family, left under shelling, witnessed the horrifying consequences of the attack, which not only affected Kyiv but also shocked the global community with its brutality.
This strike on Kyiv once again demonstrates the continuation of Russian aggression and its devastating impact on civilians. The reaction of the international community is extremely important: ignoring such events could lead to an escalation of the conflict. Polyakova's words resonate with many Ukrainians experiencing the same horrors and highlight the need for support for Ukraine from foreign partners. It is worth noting for the Russian-speaking audience that such silence from Western media often causes outrage among Ukrainians who expect more active coverage of war crimes.
While Olya Polyakova expresses her concern about the silence of the world's media, it is important to note that the international community is still showing interest in the situation in Kyiv. Recently, more than 60 foreign diplomats visited the site of the missile strike, highlighting the significance of these events for global security. More details about this visit can be found here.
