"Together with several Ukrainians who day and night live under constant terror from Russia, I spent a night in a bomb shelter", says the minister in a written comment to TT.

Dousa notes that this "unfortunately is everyday life" for Ukrainians when Russia "continues to ruthlessly attack civilian residential buildings, playgrounds, schools and hospitals".

"It is despicable and right now it is families with children who without sleep have to try to live in a daily life of sounding air raid alarms, relatives who die and who want nothing more than to live in freedom", he says.

At least twelve people were killed in the latest attacks on Kyiv.

"It clearly shows what kind of terrorist state Russia is", says Dousa, who has been in Ukraine, among other things, to sign a reconstruction agreement with Gammalsvenskby in the Kherson region.
