'We're alive': Kyiv-area survivor recalls Russian strike that killed 38
'We're alive': Kyiv-area survivor recalls Russian strike that killed 38 A firefighter works at the site of a Russian drone attack in the Kyiv region of Ukraine on Saturday. MYLA, Ukraine - Glass crackles as Liudmyla Polianychko walks through her shattered home outside Kyiv, where a Russian drone strike on an ammunition depot on Friday sparked blasts that killed 38 people and ravaged her neighborhood. Debris littered her young daughter's bedroom. Charred artillery shells and belts of ammunition lie scattered across her carefully manicured lawn. "But we're alive, and thank god for that," said the 48-year-old entrepreneur. Polianychko was still cleaning up on Sunday after the deadliest Russian strike of the year, whose devastating effects Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy blamed on official negligence.
