Former world heavyweight boxer and current Mayor of Ukraine’s Kyiv, Vitaliy Klitschko, reported “several explosions in the capital” as multiple cities in Ukraine revealed that a “massive missile attack” is being carried out by Russia on December 29.
Klitschko added: “There may be power outages in Kyiv. Charge phones and other devices. Stock up on water.”
Ukraine’s Presidential advisor Mykhailo Podolyak noted that 120+ missiles had been fired at Ukraine so far.
“29.12.22. 120+ missiles over 🇺🇦 launched by the “evil Russian world” to destroy critical infrastructure & kill civilians en masse. We’re waiting for further proposals from “peacekeepers” about “peaceful settlement”, “security guarantees for RF” & undesirability of provocations,” he said.

Vitalii Kim, head of the Mykolayiv Regional Military Administration, said that Ukrainian defence systems had already shot down five missiles over the sea.
The Mayor of Lviv Andriy Sadovy said that “90 per cent of the city is without electricity.”
He added: “We are waiting for additional information from energy experts. Trams and trolleybuses do not run in the city. There may be interruptions with water supply.
“We are moving on to the work of diesel generators at critical infrastructure facilities. Stay in shelters.”
