As a result of a massive Russian attack on Kyiv on August 20, one of the administrative buildings of the Main Directorate of the State Tax Service in Kyiv was damaged.

“Another night when the Russian enemy tried to break us. Unfortunately, people have died again. My sincere condolences to the families of the deceased, and I wish the injured a speedy recovery. The enemy’s cynicism knows no bounds. The Russians are destroying ordinary, peaceful cities, residential buildings, social infrastructure, and businesses,” Karnaukh emphasized.
