Details: The people of Kyiv vigorously responded to calls on social media to help the victims of the missile attack and participants in the search and rescue operation with water and food, bringing them to the hospital throughout the day.

As the UP journalist reports, there is currently no need for water and food, as bottles have already formed "mountains" on the approaches to the hospital
