Ukraine's Foreign Ministry spokesman Heorhi Tikhyi said the building where the embassies were located was severely damaged by the Russian attack.

The broken windows, damaged offices, and a diplomatic license vehicle with broken glass are visible.

Residents of downtown heard powerful explosions, after which fires broke out in several buildings, said Kiev military administration leader Serhiy Popko.

He said Russian forces had attacked with eight rockets, including hypersonic missiles, inzhal and ballistics Iskander in the attack, according to him.

Albania's Foreign Ministry condemned the attacks on the embassy as “brutal” and added that they placed “at risk of the life of diplomatic personnel”. According to the ministry, during the attack the Albanian Embassy suffered only material damage to the outside facade and in some of its internal spaces.

This meaningless act is an attack on the very foundations of international diplomacy”, the Ministry's statement said. “The protection of diplomatic personnel and the invulnerability of missions are non-negotiable principles that must be respected and implemented fully. ”

The Northern Macedonia Foreign Affairs Ministry also condemned the attack on the embassy building, where the Macedonian Embassy is located in Ukraine.

According to this ministry's announcement, there were no human injuries since the attack occurred in the early hours of the morning, when the embassy's diplomatic staff was not in the building. /voa
