A lot of countries think that the Holodomor was a really bad thing done on purpose to the people in Ukraine by the Soviet Union, which used to rule Ukraine. This sad part of history is being compared to what’s happening now with Russia invading Ukraine.
It’s not totally clear why Russia did this drone attack, but some people think they might be trying to break Ukraine’s power systems. Because of the attack, about 200 buildings in Kyiv, including 77 where people live, lost electricity.
This attack shows that the fighting is getting worse, and Russia is using more advanced ways to attack from the air. Things are still very tense in Kyiv, with a lot of problems for people living there and for the buildings and other things in the city.
